One of the parameters of the command Netsh interface ip set dns is register. What is its purpouse? I do not understand the explanations given in the help. Which value is set to this parameter if I set the DNS configuration of a network adapter through the Windows GUI?
Command help:
C:\Users\User>netsh int ipv4 set dns help
Usage: set dnsservers [name=]<string> [source=]dhcp|static
[[address=]<IP address>|none]
[[register=]none|primary|both]
[[validate=]yes|no]
Parameters:
Tag Value
name - The name or index of the interface.
source - One of the following values:
dhcp: Sets DHCP as the source for configuring DNS
servers for the specific interface.
static: Sets the source for configuring DNS servers
to local static configuration.
address - One of the following values:
<IP address>: An IP address for a DNS server.
none: Clears the list of DNS servers.
register - One of the following values:
none: Disables Dynamic DNS registration.
primary: Register under the primary DNS suffix only.
both: Register under both the primary DNS suffix, as
well as under the connection-specific suffix.
validate - Specifies whether validation of the DNS server setting
will be performed. The value is yes by default.
Remarks: Sets DNS server configuration to either DHCP or static mode. Only
when source is 'static', is the 'addr' option also available for
configuring a static list of DNS server IP addresses for the
specified interface. If Validate switch is yes, then
the newly set DNS server is validated.
Examples:
set dnsservers name="Wired Ethernet Connection" source=dhcp
set dnsservers "Wired Ethernet Connection" static 10.0.0.1 primary
