DnsServerSettingLegacy

Parameters

Parameter	Attribute	DataType	Description	Allowed Values
DnsServer	Key	String	Specifies the DNS server to connect to, or use 'localhost' for the current node.
DisjointNets	Write	Boolean	Indicates whether the default port binding for a socket used to send queries to remote DNS Servers can be overridden.
NoForwarderRecursion	Write	Boolean	TRUE if the DNS server does not use recursion when name-resolution through forwarders fails.
LogLevel	Write	UInt32	Indicates which policies are activated in the Event Viewer system log.

Description

The DnsServerSettingLegacy DSC resource manages the Domain Name System (DNS) server legacy settings.

If the parameter DnsServer is set to 'localhost' then the resource can normally use the default credentials (SYSTEM) to configure the DNS server settings. If using any other value for the parameter DnsServer make sure that the credential the resource is run as have the correct permissions at the target node and the necessary network traffic is permitted (WsMan protocol). It is possible to run the resource with specific credentials using the built-in parameter PsDscRunAsCredential.

Examples

Example 1

This configuration will manage the DNS server legacy settings on the current node.

Configuration DnsServerSettingLegacy_CurrentNode_Config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc'

    Node localhost
    {
        DnsServerSettingLegacy 'DnsServerLegacyProperties'
        {
            DnsServer            = 'localhost'
            DisjointNets         = $false
            NoForwarderRecursion = $true
            LogLevel             = 50393905
        }
    }
}

Example 2

This configuration will manage the DNS server legacy settings on the current node.

Configuration DnsServerSettingLegacy_RemoteNode_Config
{
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc'

    Node localhost
    {
        DnsServerSettingLegacy 'DnsServerLegacyProperties'
        {
            DnsServer            = 'dns1.company.local'
            DisjointNets         = $false
            NoForwarderRecursion = $true
            LogLevel             = 50393905
        }
    }
