The
SetDNSServerSearchOrder
WMI class method uses an array of string elements to set the server search order. This is an instance-dependent method call that applies on a per-adapter basis. After static DNS servers are specified to start using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) instead of static DNS servers, you can call the method without supplying "in" parameters. In Windows 2000, the setting applies to the targeted adapter. In Windows NT, the setting is global.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see
Calling a Method.
