  • Article

Represents the DNS settings that can be configured on a given interface by calling the SetInterfaceDnsSettings function or retrieved for a given interface by calling the GetInterfaceDnsSettings function.

Syntax

typedef struct _DNS_INTERFACE_SETTINGS {
  ULONG   Version;
  ULONG64 Flags;
  PWSTR   Domain;
  PWSTR   NameServer;
  PWSTR   SearchList;
  ULONG   RegistrationEnabled;

Members

Version

Type: ULONG

Must be set to DNS_INTERFACE_SETTINGS_VERSION1.

Flags

Type: ULONG64

A bitmap of the following options.

DNS_SETTING_IPV6 (0x0001). Configures the interface settings only for the IPv6 networking stack. If this option is set, then any IP addresses specified in the NameServer or ProfileNameServer members must be IPv6 addresses. By default, the DNS interface settings specified in this structure are applied only to the IPv4 networking stack.

DNS_SETTING_NAMESERVER (0x0002). Configures static adapter DNS servers on the specified interface via the NameServer member.

DNS_SETTING_SEARCHLIST (0x0004). Configures the connection-specific DNS suffix search list for the given adapter via the SearchList member.

DNS_SETTING_REGISTRATION_ENABLED (0x0008). Enables or disables the dynamic DNS registration for the given adapter. This is system-enabled by default.

DNS_SETTING_DOMAIN (0x0020). Configures the connection-specific DNS suffix for the given adapter via the Domain member.

DNS_SETTINGS_ENABLE_LLMNR (0x0080). Enables or disables name resolution using LLMNR and mDNS on the specified adapter. This is system-enabled by default.

DNS_SETTINGS_QUERY_ADAPTER_NAME (0x0100). Enables or disables the use of the adapter name as a suffix for DNS queries. This is system-enabled by default.

DNS_SETTING_PROFILE_NAMESERVER (0x0200). Configures static profile DNS servers on the specified interface via the ProfileNameServer member.

Domain

Type: PWSTR

A NULL-terminated wide string containing the adapter domain name.

NameServer

Type: PWSTR

A NULL-terminated wide string containing a series of comma- or space-separated DNS servers. For example, L"1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8", or L"1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8".

If the DNS_SETTING_IPV6 flag is present, then the servers must be IPv6 addresses. For example, L"2606:4700:4700::1001,2606:4700:4700::1111".

SearchList

Type: PWSTR

A NULL-terminated wide string containing a series of comma- or space-separated search names. For example, L"contoso1.com contoso2.com", or L"contoso1.com, contoso2.com".

RegistrationEnabled

Type: ULONG

TRUE to enable adapter dynamic registration; FALSE to disable it.

RegisterAdapterName

Type: ULONG

TRUE to enable adapter name registration; FALSE to disable it.

EnableLLMNR

Type: ULONG

TRUE to enable mDNS and LLMNR on the given interface; FALSE to disable them.

QueryAdapterName

Type: ULONG

TRUE if the adapter name should be used as a search suffix; otherwise FALSE.

ProfileNameServer

Type: PWSTR

A NULL-terminated wide string containing a series of comma- or space-separated DNS servers. For example, L"1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8" or L"1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8".

If the DNS_SETTING_IPV6 flag is present, then the servers must be IPv6 addresses. For example, L"2606:4700:4700::1001,2606:4700:4700::1111".
