.NAME
xDnsServerSetting .DESCRIPTION The xDnsServerSetting DSC resource manages the Domain Name System (DNS) server settings and properties. 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. .PARAMETER DnsServer Key - String Specifies the DNS server to connect to, or use 'localhost' for the current node. .PARAMETER AddressAnswerLimit Write - UInt32 Maximum number of host records returned in response to an address request. Values between 5 and 28 are valid. .PARAMETER AllowUpdate Write - UInt32 Specifies whether the DNS Server accepts dynamic update requests. .PARAMETER AutoCacheUpdate Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server attempts to update its cache entries using data from root servers. .PARAMETER AutoConfigFileZones Write - UInt32 Indicates which standard primary zones that are authoritative for the name of the DNS Server must be updated when the name server changes. .PARAMETER BindSecondaries Write - Boolean Determines the AXFR message format when sending to non-Microsoft DNS Server secondaries. .PARAMETER BootMethod Write - UInt32 Initialization method for the DNS Server. .PARAMETER DefaultAgingState Write - Boolean Default ScavengingInterval value set for all Active Directory-integrated zones created on this DNS Server. .PARAMETER DefaultNoRefreshInterval Write - UInt32 No-refresh interval, in hours, set for all Active Directory-integrated zones created on this DNS Server. .PARAMETER DefaultRefreshInterval Write - UInt32 Refresh interval, in hours, set for all Active Directory-integrated zones created on this DNS Server. .PARAMETER DisableAutoReverseZones Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server automatically creates standard reverse look up zones. .PARAMETER DisjointNets Write - Boolean Indicates whether the default port binding for a socket used to send queries to remote DNS Servers can be overridden. .PARAMETER DsPollingInterval Write - UInt32 Interval, in seconds, to poll the DS-integrated zones. .PARAMETER DsTombstoneInterval Write - UInt32 Lifetime of tombstoned records in Directory Service integrated zones, expressed in seconds. .PARAMETER EDnsCacheTimeout Write - UInt32 Lifetime, in seconds, of the cached information describing the EDNS version supported by other DNS Servers. .PARAMETER EnableDirectoryPartitions Write - Boolean Specifies whether support for application directory partitions is enabled on the DNS Server. .PARAMETER EnableDnsSec Write - UInt32 Specifies whether the DNS Server includes DNSSEC-specific RRs, KEY, SIG, and NXT in a response. .PARAMETER EnableEDnsProbes Write - Boolean Specifies the behavior of the DNS Server. When TRUE, the DNS Server always responds with OPT resource records according to RFC 2671, unless the remote server has indicated it does not support EDNS in a prior exchange. If FALSE, the DNS Server responds to queries with OPTs only if OPTs are sent in the original query. .PARAMETER EventLogLevel Write - UInt32 Indicates which events the DNS Server records in the Event Viewer system log. .PARAMETER ForwardDelegations Write - UInt32 Specifies whether queries to delegated sub-zones are forwarded. .PARAMETER Forwarders Write - StringArray Enumerates the list of IP addresses of Forwarders to which the DNS Server forwards queries. .PARAMETER ForwardingTimeout Write - UInt32 Time, in seconds, a DNS Server forwarding a query will wait for resolution from the forwarder before attempting to resolve the query itself. .PARAMETER IsSlave Write - Boolean TRUE if the DNS server does not use recursion when name-resolution through forwarders fails. .PARAMETER ListenAddresses Write - StringArray Enumerates the list of IP addresses on which the DNS Server can receive queries. .PARAMETER LocalNetPriority Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server gives priority to the local net address when returning A records. .PARAMETER LogFileMaxSize Write - UInt32 Size of the DNS Server debug log, in bytes. .PARAMETER LogFilePath Write - String File name and path for the DNS Server debug log. .PARAMETER LogIPFilterList Write - StringArray List of IP addresses used to filter DNS events written to the debug log. .PARAMETER LogLevel Write - UInt32 Indicates which policies are activated in the Event Viewer system log. .PARAMETER LooseWildcarding Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server performs loose wildcarding. .PARAMETER MaxCacheTTL Write - UInt32 Maximum time, in seconds, the record of a recursive name query may remain in the DNS Server cache. .PARAMETER MaxNegativeCacheTTL Write - UInt32 Maximum time, in seconds, a name error result from a recursive query may remain in the DNS Server cache. .PARAMETER NameCheckFlag Write - UInt32 Indicates the set of eligible characters to be used in DNS names. .PARAMETER NoRecursion Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server performs recursive look ups. TRUE indicates recursive look ups are not performed. .PARAMETER RecursionRetry Write - UInt32 Elapsed seconds before retrying a recursive look up. .PARAMETER RecursionTimeout Write - UInt32 Elapsed seconds before the DNS Server gives up recursive query. .PARAMETER RoundRobin Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server round robins multiple A records. .PARAMETER RpcProtocol Write - SInt16 RPC protocol or protocols over which administrative RPC runs. .PARAMETER ScavengingInterval Write - UInt32 Interval, in hours, between two consecutive scavenging operations performed by the DNS Server. .PARAMETER SecureResponses Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server exclusively saves records of names in the same subtree as the server that provided them. .PARAMETER SendPort Write - UInt32 Port on which the DNS Server sends UDP queries to other servers. .PARAMETER StrictFileParsing Write - Boolean Indicates whether the DNS Server parses zone files strictly. .PARAMETER UpdateOptions Write - UInt32 Restricts the type of records that can be dynamically updated on the server, used in addition to the AllowUpdate settings on Server and Zone objects. .PARAMETER WriteAuthorityNS Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS Server writes NS and SOA records to the authority section on successful response. .PARAMETER XfrConnectTimeout Write - UInt32 Time, in seconds, the DNS Server waits for a successful TCP connection to a remote server when attempting a zone transfer. .PARAMETER DsAvailable Read - Boolean Indicates whether there is an available DS on the DNS Server. .EXAMPLE 1 This configuration will manage the DNS server settings on the current node. Configuration xDnsServerSetting_CurrentNode_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xDnsServer' Node localhost { xDnsServerSetting 'DnsServerProperties' { DnsServer = 'localhost' ListenAddresses = '10.0.0.4' IsSlave = $true Forwarders = @('168.63.129.16', '168.63.129.18') RoundRobin = $true LocalNetPriority = $true SecureResponses = $true NoRecursion = $false BindSecondaries = $false StrictFileParsing = $false ScavengingInterval = 168 LogLevel = 50393905 } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This configuration will manage the DNS server settings on the current node. Configuration xDnsServerSetting_RemoteNode_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'xDnsServer' Node localhost { xDnsServerSetting 'DnsServerProperties' { DnsServer = 'dns1.company.local' ListenAddresses = '10.0.0.4' IsSlave = $true Forwarders = @('168.63.129.16', '168.63.129.18') RoundRobin = $true LocalNetPriority = $true SecureResponses = $true NoRecursion = $false BindSecondaries = $false StrictFileParsing = $false ScavengingInterval = 168 LogLevel = 50393905 } } } |
