WMI and Network Adapters: 5



Posted by: Richard Siddaway
DNS, Network

Does a machine have problems communicating on the network? Then one troubleshooting step is to check the DNS servers it is using

001
002
003
004
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName "." |
where {$_.DNSServerSearchOrder} |
select Description, IPAddress, DNSServerSearchOrder

Get the instances of the NetworkAdapterConfiguration class for the computer and filter out those that don’t have a DNSServerSearchOrder set.  Display the results.

If you get nothing back then no NICs have DNS settings
