I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Thank you, Gershon, for sharing your time and knowledge.
On the Advanced Properties page, select Run as administrator. Right-click the shortcut, and select Properties. 
The last step is to set the shortcuts to Run as administrator: Note If you have spaces in the path to the file, enclose the path in quotation marks.
%systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe –file d:\scripts\DNSDefault.ps1. %systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe –file d:\scripts\DNSCustom.ps1. %systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe –file “path to the script file”įor example, if I saved my scripts to D:\scripts, I would create two shortcuts-one for each script file with the following locations: To run each script file (.ps1) that you created, you can create a shortcut with the following command: To see the current policy, run the Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet. To run Windows PowerShell scripts, you need to change the script execution policy.įor more information about the Windows PowerShell script execution policy, see: When the DNS setting is set to automatic, the ServerAddress column is blank for the adapter.Īfter you have the syntax of the command, and it works as you want it to, copy the command to a file with an extension of. Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias wi-fi -ResetServerAddressesĪfter running the command, run Get-DnsClientServerAddress to confirm the change to the DNS servers. This script will set the DNS setting to automatic for the network adapter: Script #2: Automatically get DNS setting from DHCP server Or you can use the Get-DnsClientServerAddress cmdlet.Īfter you have the syntax of the command, and it works as you want it to, copy the command to a file with an extension of. Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi -ServerAddresses "1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2"Īfter running the command, run GetNetIPConfiguration to confirm the change to the DNS servers. Replace 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 with the IP addresses of the DNS servers you want to use. Notice that the value for the –InterfaceAlias parameter is the name of the adapter from the previous image. Note You need to run the following command from an elevated command prompt. If the adapter is set to get its IP address automatically from a DHCP server, the cmdlet only overrides the DNS settings that are received from the DHCP server, and the adapter will continue to receive its IP address from the DHCP server. This script will set the Wi-Fi adapter to use the following DNS servers: In my case, the adapter name that I want to modify is Wi-Fi. To list the network adapters, run the Get-NetAdapter Windows PowerShell cmdlet. The first thing you need to find out is the name of the adapter that you want to change. In this blog post, I will walk you through the steps to create these scripts, and the steps needed to run the scripts from shortcuts without having to open a Windows PowerShell session. I created two simple Windows PowerShell scripts, one to modify the DNS settings to use specific DNS servers and another to set the DNS settings to automatic. #ENABLE DNS UPDATES FOR MAC CLIENT WINDOWS SERVER DHCP HOW TO#
However, I still needed to figure out how to run a Windows PowerShell script ( ExecutionPolicy) and how to create a shortcut to the script file so that I could double-click an icon to run the scripts. The actual Windows PowerShell cmdlets are fairly simple. Because I needed to do this on a regular basis, I investigated how to automate this by using Windows PowerShell.īeing fairly new to Windows PowerShell, I thought this was going to be a simple exercise-similar to writing a batch script.

I can make these changes manually, but it would require a number of manual steps. Then after I am done, I want to go back and use the DNS settings provided by DHCP. There are times when I need to change the DNS settings and use specific DNS servers. Gershon is a senior technical writer for Hyper-V at Microsoft. Today we have a new guest blogger, Gershon Levitz. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Summary: Guest blogger, Gershon Levitz, talks about modifying DNS settings with Windows PowerShell.
