[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Add-DnsServerForwarder cmdlet adds one or more forwarders to the forwarders list of a Domain Name System (DNS) server. If you prefer one of the forwarders, put that forwarder first in the series of forwarder IP addresses. After you first use this cmdlet to add forwarders to a DNS server, this cmdlet adds forwarders to the end of the forwarders list.
Examples
Example 1: Add a forwarder to a DNS server by using an IPv6 address
PS C:\> Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c -PassThruThis command adds the IPv6 address 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c to the list of forwarders on a local DNS server.
Example 2: Add a forwarder to a DNS server by using an IP Address
PS C:\> Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress 172.23.90.124 -PassThruThis command adds the IP address 172.23.90.124 to the list of forwarders on a local DNS server.
Required Parameters
Specifies an array of IP addresses of DNS servers where queries are forwarded. If you prefer one of the forwarders, put that forwarder first in the series of forwarder IP addresses.
| Type: | IPAddress[] |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True (ByPropertyName) |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Optional Parameters
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the
*-Job
cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job
cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
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 |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies a remote DNS server. You can specify an IP address or any value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | Cn |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |

| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
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 |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
