Get-DnsClientServerAddress

Get-DnsClientServerAddress [[-InterfaceAlias] <String[]>] [-AddressFamily <AddressFamily[]>] [-CimSession<CimSession[]>] [-InterfaceIndex <UInt32[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

The Get-DnsClientServerAddress cmdlet gets one or more DNS server IP addresses associated with the interfaces on the computer.

Parameters

-AddressFamily [<AddressFamily[]>]

Specifies the address family. The acceptable values for this parameter are: IPv4 or IPv6.

-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.

-InterfaceAlias [<String[]>]

Specifies the friendly name of the interface.

-InterfaceIndex [<UInt32[]>]

  • Accepts pipeline input ByValue

Specifies the index number of the interface.

-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 PowerShellr 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.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.
