Yes, you could use something quick and simple like the following below to set your primary and secondary DNS addresses. The Get-DnsClientServerAddress will return the output of your changes to the Reports > Activity section in Automox, you can add -Verbose to the end of each command for more detail if you wish too
Note that the “Ethernet*” in -InterfaceAlias will target all network adapters on the device named “Ethernet” (if there is more than one)
Change “8.8.8.8” and “1.1.1.1” in -ServerAddresses to your specified DNS address.
Be sure to test this first.
