Description

The Set-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration cmdlet changes Domain Name System (DNS) servers for a DNS suffix that is associated with a virtual private network (VPN) connection. This cmdlet also configures the DNS suffix search list for a VPN connection.

If you specify a DNS IP address for a suffix, when a client accesses a resource within that suffix, the client starts a VPN connection. You can specify a list of DNS suffixes for a client to append to short names to try connections by using a specified VPN connection.

Examples

Example 1: Change the DNS server for a DNS suffix

PS C:\>Set-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration -ConnectionName "Contoso" -DnsSuffix "washington.contoso.com" -DnsIPAddress "172.16.12.3" -PassThru -Force
ConnectionName       DnsSuffix            DnsIPAddress                             DnsSuffixSearchList

--------------       ---------            ------------                             -------------------

Contoso              washington.contos... {207.64.32.54}

This command changes the IP address for the DNS server for a DNS suffix to a value of 172.16.12.3. Use the DnsIPAddress parameter to specify the new value. The command specifies the VPN connection profile named Contoso and the DNS suffix washington.contoso.com. The command includes the PassThru parameter. Therefore, it returns the VPN connection DNS trigger properties for the client. Because the command includes the Force parameter, it does not prompt you for confirmation.

Example 2: Change the DNS suffix search list for a VPN connection

PS C:\>Set-VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration -ConnectionName "Contoso" -DnsSuffixSearchList "corp.contoso.com", "sales.Contoso.com" -PassThru -Force
ConnectionName       DnsSuffix            DnsIPAddress                             DnsSuffixSearchList

--------------       ---------            ------------                             -------------------

Contoso                                                                            {corp.contoso.com, sales.contoso....

This command changes the DNS suffix search list for the VPN connection profile named Contoso to be the two specified DNS suffixes. The command includes the PassThru parameter. Therefore, it returns the VPN connection DNS trigger properties for the client. Because the command includes the Force parameter, it does not prompt you for confirmation.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-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.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ConnectionName

Specifies the name of a VPN connection profile. To view existing VPN connection profiles, use the Get-VpnConnection cmdlet.

Type:String
Aliases:Name
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DnsIPAddress

Specifies an array IP addresses of DNS servers for the DNS suffix. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you specify an empty string, when the client accesses a resource in the DNS suffix, it does not trigger a VPN connection.

Type:String[]
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DnsSuffix

Specifies a DNS suffix.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DnsSuffixSearchList

Specifies an array of DNS suffixes. The client appends a suffix to a short name to create a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The client tries the suffixes on this list to see if any of them, appended to a short name, identify a resource.

Type:String[]
Position:4
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Indicates that the cmdlet makes changes to the VPN connection trigger DNS configuration without a confirmation message.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. If you specify this parameter, the cmdlet returns the VpnConnectionTriggerDnsConfiguration object that contains DNS suffixes and corresponding DNS servers, and the DNS suffix search list.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

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 PowerShell® 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.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
