NAME Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration



SYNOPSIS

Adds a DNS suffix or name to VPN connection trigger properties.





SYNTAX

Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration [-ConnectionName] <String> [-DnsSuffix] <String> [[-DnsIPAddress] <String[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]

[-Force] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration cmdlet adds a Domain Name System (DNS) suffix or name to the DNS trigger properties for a client. If you

specify a DNS IP address for the suffix or name, when the client accesses a resource in the suffix, the client starts a virtual private network (VPN)

connection. If you do not specify a DNS IP address for a DNS suffix or name, accessing the suffix or name does not trigger the VPN connection.



If you previously ran the Set-VpnConnectionTriggerTrustedNetwork cmdlet with the DefaultDnsSuffixes parameter specified, the current cmdlet adds the DNS

suffix to the trusted Network list. This cmdlet does not add DNS suffixes that do not have DNS server addresses.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ConnectionName <String>

Specifies the name of a VPN connection profile. To view existing VPN connection profiles, use the Get-VpnConnection cmdlet.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DnsIPAddress [<String[]>]

Specifies an array IP addresses of DNS servers for the DNS suffix. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.



If you do not specify a DNS server, the client does not start a VPN connection when the client accesses a resource with the DNS suffix or name.



Required? false

Position? 4

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DnsSuffix <String>

Specifies a DNS suffix.



Required? true

Position? 3

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Force [<SwitchParameter>]

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. If you specify this

parameter, the cmdlet returns the VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration object that contains DNS suffixes and corresponding DNS servers.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

INPUTS









OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration







Example 1: Add a DNS suffix



PS C:\\>Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration -ConnectionName "Contoso" -DnsSuffix "washington.contoso.com" -DnsIPAddress "172.16.12.23" -PassThru

WARNING: The suffix washington.contoso.com will be automatically added to



the trusted network detection list. Any subsequent addition/removal of



suffixes from this cmdlet will be reflected in the trusted network



detection list. If you do not want this auto-population, remove the



suffixes from the trusted network detection list by using the



cmdlet Remove-VpnConnectionTriggerTrustedNetwork



ConnectionName DnsSuffix DnsIPAddress DnsSuffixSearchList



-------------- --------- ------------ -------------------



Contoso washington.contos... {172.16.12.23}



This command adds the DNS suffix washington.contoso.com to the trigger properties for the current client. The command specifies the VPN connection

profile named Contoso and an address for a DNS server for this suffix. The command includes the PassThru parameter. Therefore, it returns the VPN

connection DNS trigger properties for the client.



In this example, Trigger Trusted Network has the default value. Therefore the command adds the suffix to the trusted network detection list.





Example 2: Add a DNS suffix that has multiple DNS servers



PS C:\\>Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration -ConnectionName "Contoso" -DnsSuffix "newyork.contoso.com" -DnsIPAddress "172.16.12.3", "172.16.12.22"

-PassThru

ConnectionName DnsSuffix DnsIPAddress DnsSuffixSearchList



-------------- --------- ------------ -------------------



Contoso newyork.contoso.com {172.16.12.3, 172.16.12.22}



This command adds the DNS suffix newyork.contoso.com to the trigger properties for the current client. The command specifies the VPN connection profile

named Contoso and multiple addresses for DNS servers. The command includes the PassThru parameter. Therefore, it returns the VPN connection DNS trigger

properties for the client.





Example 3: Add a DNS suffix that does not trigger a VPN connection



PS C:\\>Add-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration -ConnectionName "Contoso" -DnsSuffix "ras.washington.contoso.com" -PassThru

ConnectionName DnsSuffix DnsIPAddress DnsSuffixSearchList



-------------- --------- ------------ -------------------



Contoso ras.washington.co...



This command adds the DNS suffix ras.washington.contoso.com to the trigger properties for the current client. The command specifies the VPN connection

profile named Contoso. Unlike the previous examples, this command does not specify an address for a DNS server. When this client accesses resources from

ras.washington.contoso.com, it does not trigger a VPN connection. The command includes the PassThru parameter. Therefore, it returns the VPN connection

DNS trigger properties for the client.
