.NAME
    DnsServerAddress
 
.DESCRIPTION
    This resource is used to control a node's DNS Server address(s).
 
.PARAMETER InterfaceAlias
    Key - String
    Alias of the network interface for which the DNS server address is set.
 
.PARAMETER AddressFamily
    Key - String
    Allowed values: IPv4, IPv6
    IP address family.
 
.PARAMETER Address
    Write - StringArray
    The desired DNS Server address(es). Exclude to enable DHCP.
 
.PARAMETER Validate
    Write - Boolean
    Requires that the DNS Server addresses be validated if they are updated. It will cause the resource to throw a 'A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.' error if set to True and specified DNS Servers are not accessible.
 
.EXAMPLE 1
 
Configure DNS Server for the Ethernet adapter.
 
Configuration DnsServerAddress_Config
{
    Import-DscResource -Module NetworkingDsc
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsServerAddress DnsServerAddress
        {
            Address = '127.0.0.1'
            InterfaceAlias = 'Ethernet'
            AddressFamily = 'IPv4'
            Validate = $true
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
Configure primary and secondary DNS Server addresses on the Ethernet adapter.
 
Configuration DnsServerAddress_PrimaryAndSecondary_Config
{
    Import-DscResource -Module NetworkingDsc
 
    Node localhost
    {
        DnsServerAddress PrimaryAndSecondary
        {
            Address = '10.0.0.2','10.0.0.40'
            InterfaceAlias = 'Ethernet'
            AddressFamily = 'IPv4'
            Validate = $true
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 3
 
Enabling DHCP for the IPv4 Address and DNS on the adapter with alias 'Ethernet'.
 
Configuration DnsServerAddress_EnableDHCP_Config
{
    Import-DscResource -Module NetworkingDsc
 
    Node localhost
    {
        NetIPInterface EnableDhcp
        {
            InterfaceAlias = 'Ethernet'
            AddressFamily = 'IPv4'
            Dhcp = 'Enabled'
        }
 
        DnsServerAddress EnableDhcpDNS
        {
            InterfaceAlias = 'Ethernet'
            AddressFamily = 'IPv4'
        }
    }
}
