<\/a><\/p>\nScript #1: Modify DNS server settings<\/h2>\n
This script will set the Wi-Fi<\/b> adapter to use the following DNS servers:<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Note <\/b> You need to run the following command from an elevated command prompt.<\/p>\n Notice that the value for the –InterfaceAlias<\/b> parameter is the name of the adapter from the previous image. Replace 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 with the IP addresses of the DNS servers you want to use.<\/p>\n Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi -ServerAddresses "1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2"<\/p>\n After running the command, run GetNetIPConfiguration<\/b> to confirm the change to the DNS servers.<\/p>\n Or you can use the Get-DnsClientServerAddress<\/b> cmdlet.<\/p>\n After 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 .ps1, for example DNSCustom.ps1<\/i>.<\/p>\n This script will set the DNS setting to automatic for the network adapter:<\/p>\n Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias wi-fi -ResetServerAddresses<\/p>\n After running the command, run Get-DnsClientServerAddress<\/b> <\/i>to confirm the change to the DNS servers. When the DNS setting is set to automatic, the ServerAddress<\/b> column is blank for the adapter.<\/p>\n After 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 .ps1, for example DNSDefault.ps1<\/i>.<\/p>\n To run Windows PowerShell scripts, you need to change the script execution policy.<\/p>\n For more information about the Windows PowerShell script execution policy, see:<\/p>\n To see the current policy, run the Get-ExecutionPolicy<\/b> cmdlet.<\/p>\n To run each script file (.ps1) that you created, you can create a shortcut with the following command:<\/p>\n %systemroot%\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe –file “path to the script file”<\/p>\n For example, if I saved my scripts to D:\\scripts, I would create two shortcuts—one for each script file with the following locations:<\/p>\n Note<\/b> If you have spaces in the path to the file, enclose the path in quotation marks.<\/p>\n The last step is to set the shortcuts to Run as administrator<\/b>: <\/p>\n Thank you, Gershon, for sharing your time and knowledge.<\/p>\n I invite you to follow me on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.
