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.

Evaluation:

exit 0

Remediation:

Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet*" -ServerAddresses @("8.8.8.8","1.1.1.1")
Get-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet*" | Select InterfaceAlias,ServerAddresses
