[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-DnsServer cmdlet uses an input object to overwrite a specified Domain Name System (DNS) server configuration. You can generate the input object by using an XML file that is exported by using any of the following cmdlets: Get-DnsServer, Export-Clixml, or Import-Clixml.
For more information about Export-Clixml, see Export-Clixmlhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849916.aspx. For more information about Import-Clixml, see Import-Clixmlhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849906.aspx.
Examples
Example 1: Overwrite a DNS server configuration by using an input object
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -ComputerName "DNSServer13.Contoso.com" | Export-Clixml -Path "c:\DnsServerConfig.xml"
PS C:\>$x = Import-Clixml "c:\DnsServerConfig.xml"
PS C:\>Set-DnsServer -InputObject $x -ComputerName "DNSServer22.Contoso.com"This set of commands uses an input object to overwrite a DNS server configuration.
As shown in the code block, the first command gets DNS server configuration by using the Get-DnsServer cmdlet. It then pipes the information to the Export-Clixml cmdlet, which exports the data into an XML file.
The second command gets and stores the XML file data in variable $x.
The third command uses the data that is stored in variable $x to overwrite an existing DNS server configuration.
Example 2: Set DNS server configuration by using the Cimsession parameter
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 172.22.50.137 | Set-DnsServerThis command gets DNS server configuration from a server that has an IP address of 172.22.50.137 and applies it to the server on which the Set-DnsServer cmdlet is run.
Example 3: Migrate DNS server configuration by using IP addresses
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 172.22.50.137 | Set-DnsServer -ComputerName 172.22.50.138This command migrates DNS server configuration from a server that has an IP address of 172.22.50.137 to a server that has an IP address of 172.22.50.138.
Example 4: Create a file-backed primary zone
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 172.22.50.137 | Set-DnsServer -CreateFileBackedPrimaryZonesThis command creates file-backed primary zones on the specified local DNS server. The file that contains resource records must exist in the %windir%\system32\dns directory.
