[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-DnsServerDiagnostics cmdlet sets debugging and logging parameters on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
To enable debug logging, specify a value of $True for the FullPackets parameter and do the following:
- Set the ReceivePackets parameter or the SendPackets parameter to $True.
- Set the TcpPackets parameter or the UdpPackets parameter to $True.
- Set the Notifications parameter, the Queries parameter, or the Updates parameter to $True.
- Set the QuestionTransactions parameter or the Answers parameter to $True.
If you use the Parameters parameter set, you must specify at least one of the options in each of the following pairs of parameters:
- ReceivePackets, SendPackets
- TcpPackets, UdpPackets
- Notifications, Updates, Queries
- QuestionTransactions, Answers
The All parameter set enables all options except for the following: LogFilePath, MaxMBFileSize, EventLogLevel, FilterIpAddrList, UseSystemEventLog, and EnableLogFileRollover.
Use the LogLevel parameter to enable diagnostics at a more detailed level.
Examples
Example 1: Enable diagnostics for outgoing TCP responses for updates
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerDiagnostics -SendPackets $True -TcpPackets $True -Answers $True -Updates $TrueThis command enables the diagnostics of outgoing TCP responses for updates.
Example 2: Enable all diagnostic options except for LogFilePath
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerDiagnostics -All $TrueThis command enables all options for DNS server diagnostics except for LogFilePath.
Example 3: Log send packets
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerDiagnostics -DebugLogging 0x10000This command logs send packages.
Example 4: Reset debugging settings
PS C:\> Get-DnsServerDiagnostics -ComputerName "DNSServer01" | select -TcpPackets, -UdpPackets | Set-DnsServerDiagnostics -ComputerName "DNSServer02"This command resets the TCP packet debugging and UDP packet debugging options on DNSServer02 to their values on DNSServer01.
