Description

The Set-DnsServerSetting cmdlet modifies Domain Name System (DNS) server settings.

Examples

Example 1: Copy DNS server settings from one DNS server to another

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerSetting -ComputerName "172.23.90.136" -All | Set-DnsServerSetting

This command copies DNS server settings from the DNS server that has an IP address of 172.23.90.136 to the local DNS server.

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.
