使用PowerShell设置DNS

Question

What I am trying to accomplish: I am trying to set the DNS address on my machine using powershell.

Here is my code:

$dnsserver = (,"192.168.0.5")
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter IPEnabled=TRUE | Invoke-WmiMethod -Name SetDNSServerSearchOrder -ArgumentList (,$dnsserver)

I am using this as reference:

Using Invoke-WmiMethod to set the DNS servers

The problem: When I run the script, nothing changes. If I run the script and restart the machine, nothing happens. I am running the script on my local machine not remotely.

I am only wanting to add 1 DNS address.

Do I perhaps need to run as a different user or do something else special in order for this to work?

Answer 1

using the netsh.exe program to script changes to the network interfaces is a great way to automate configuring them. Changing DNS is simple:

# turn on DHCP assigned DNS servers
netsh int ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

# set a static DNS entry
netsh int ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.1

A few notes:

• You would need to change "Local Area Connection" to the name of the connection you are working with. Though this is generally the default - it may just work in your case. The DNS server address would also need to be specific to your scenario.
• Changing IP information usually requires elevated privileges, so make sure you are running PowerShell with elevated rights - by default Windows Vista and later launch PowerShell without elevating it. You will need to right click on it and choose "Run as admin".

$DC = read-host "Please enter a primary DNS"
$Internet = read-host "Please enter secondary DNS"
$dns = "$DC", "$Internet"

For powershell 4:

#I know this one is sloppy, but will get the work done.

Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20 -ServerAddresses ($DNS)
#I know this one is sloppy, but will get the work done.

For Powershell 1,2 and 3.

$Interface = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration 
Write-Host "$(Get-Date -format T):Registering DNS $dns for $server" -ForegroundColor Green
$Interface.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($dns)

I plucked these off a script I wrote actually yesterday for a client that needed to set the DNS range for some-odd 200 Computers since the DC was failing.

If you are interested I can give you the whole script. Point of the script is to run in a domain, and set every computer' DNS in the domain.

Edit, Made a Better version of the executing part (PS4+)

This script should not show any errors, if it does something went wrong. Unlike previous script for ps4, it would always output several errors.

$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"

#Set all DNS addresses needed.
write-verbose -Verbose "Set all DNS addresses needed."
$DC = "192.168.103.30"
$Internet = "8.8.8.8" #Google
$WorkRouter = "192.168.12.254"
$HomeRouter = "10.0.0.1"
$Possible = "192.168.1.1"
$Possible2 = "192.168.0.1"

#Combine addresses
write-verbose -Verbose "Combining DNS addresses."
$dns = "$DC", "$Internet", "$WorkRouter", "$HomeRouter", "$Possible", "$Possible2"

#Set network adapter ranges
write-verbose -Verbose "Setting network adapter ranges."

#Get Network adapters
write-Verbose -Verbose "Now checking available network adapters."
$Net = Get-NetAdapter | select ifIndex | ft -a | Out-File -FilePath C:/Netadapter.txt
$Net =  "C:/Netadapter.txt"

#Setting ranges to work with
$Ranges = (Get-Content $Net) -creplace "ifIndex", "" -creplace "-", "" | foreach {$_.Trim()} | Where { $_ } | Sort #| out-file C:/Netadapter.txt

#Execute DNS change
write-Warning -Verbose "Now executing DNS change to all available network adapters."
foreach ($range in $ranges)    {
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $range -ServerAddresses ($DNS)
}

write-verbose -Verbose "DNS Settings have been altered."

This answer requires Powershell 4.

1. Run Get-DNSClientServerAddress . In the output, look for the Interface Index of the adapter you want to change. You will need this in step 2.
2. In an elevated prompt , run Set-DNSClientServerAddress –interfaceIndex ? –ServerAddresses ("8.8.8.8") Set-DNSClientServerAddress –interfaceIndex ? –ServerAddresses ("8.8.8.8") where ? is the Interface Index of the interface you want to change DNS server address for (8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS - always a good standby, but change this to the address of whatever DNS server you want).
3. If you want to change the interface back to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically', in an elevated prompt , run Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex ? -ResetServerAddresses Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex ? -ResetServerAddresses (Thanks to this blog for this tip), again substituting the Interface Index you looked up in step 1 for ? .

Answer 4

管理网络接口通常需要管理权限，因此您必须在elethled PowerShell控制台中运行脚本。

Answer 5

$vmDNS1 = "192.0.2.1"
$vmDNS2 = "192.0.2.2"
$dns = "$vmDNS1", "$vmDNS2"

$Interface = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration 
Write-Host "$(Get-Date -format T):Registering DNS $dns for $server" -ForegroundColor Green
$Interface.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($dns)

Using this from years. Used it against many datacenters to configure DNS on virtual machines.

Answer 6

This is what I use.. PS 5.1

$ipaddress = <ip>
$Gateway = <gateway IP>
$netadapter = <InterfaceAlias>
$primary = <First DNS record or comma seperated IP's>
$NetScript = @"
 Get-Netadapter -Name $netadapter | New-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 -IPAddress $IP -PrefixLength 23 -Type Unicast -DefaultGateway $Gateway
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias 'Ethernet0' -ServerAddresses $primary
Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "Ethernet0" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6
Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "Ethernet0" -DisplayName "QoS Packet Scheduler"
"@
$NetScript = $NetScript.Replace('#netadapter#', $netadapter).Replace('#Ipaddress#', $IP).Replace('#Gateway#', $Gateway)

#Where Ethernet0 = InterfaceAlias

Use this alot in Vmware and HyperV deployments.

Answer 7

If you have one network adapter you can use Get-NetAdapter | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ServerAddresses 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 Get-NetAdapter | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ServerAddresses 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

If you have many adapters you need to add name, for checking names run Get-NetAdapter

Get-NetAdapter -Name "vEthernet (DockerNAT)" | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ServerAddresses 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
