The Set-DnsServerRootHint cmdlet replaces the list of root hints on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
This cmdlet overwrites the list of root hints with the list of root hints that you specify by using the InputObject parameter.
Examples
Example 1: Change the IP address of a root hint
The first command adds a root hint for the DNS name server that is named H.Root-Servers.net and the IP address 172.24.60.128.
PS C:\> Add-DnsServerRootHint -NameServer "H.Root-Servers.contoso.net" -IPAddress 172.24.60.128
The second command assigns the value that is returned by the **Get-DnsServerRootHint** cmdlet to the variable $a. **Get-DnsServerRootHint** gets a list of all root hints on the local DNS server. The command then passes that collection to the **Where-Object** cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. **Where-Object** filters the resource record to get the root hint for the DNS name server that is named H.Root-Servers.net.
PS C:\> $a = (Get-DnsServerRootHint | Where-Object {$_.NameServer.RecordData.NameServer -eq "H.Root-Servers.contoso.net."} )
The third command sets the value of the IP address of the root hint to 172.24.60.132 for the DNS name server H.Root-Servers.net.
PS C:\> $a.IPAddress[0].RecordData.Ipv4address = "172.24.60.132"
The fourth command replaces the list of root hints on the local DNS server with the root hint for the DNS name server H.Root-Servers.net.
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerRootHint $a
This example adds a root hint to the list of root hints on a DNS server and changes the IP address of the root hint.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
