DNS-Client (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the settings, dependencies and any notes for the DNS-Client section of the Embedded Core module in the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) module catalog.

These settings configure the Domain Name System (DNS), a system for naming computers and network services that organizes them into a hierarchy of domains. DNS naming is used on TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet, to locate computers and services by using user-friendly names.

The DNS Client service is used to resolve DNS domain names, by querying locally cached information obtained from a previous query or by querying a remote DNS server.

Some settings are global, and others are interface-specific. Global settings apply to all network adapters on the computer. Interface-specific settings apply only to a single interface and may overlap with global settings.

This module includes the following settings.

• DNSSuffixSearchOrder
  • DomainName

  • Interface
    • DNSServerSearchOrder
      • IpAddress
    • DNSDomain

Notes

DNSSuffixSearchOrder

You can use the Action setting attribute to specify the action to take when you use the configuration file to create or modify an image. The following table shows the possible values.

DomainName

You can use the Action setting attribute to specify the action to take when you use the configuration file to create or modify an image. The following table shows the possible values.

You use Key and Value attributes to specify the order in which to search for extended domain names. The following XML example shows specify the order in which to search for extended domain names.

<DNSSuffixSearchOrder>
      <DomainName wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="1">server1.fabrikam.com</DomainName>
      <DomainName wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="2">fabrikam.com</DomainName>
</DNSSuffixSearchOrder>

Interface

You can use the Action setting attribute to specify the action to take when you use the configuration file to create or modify an image. The following table shows the possible values.

IpAddress

You can use the Action setting attribute to specify the action to take when you use the configuration file to create or modify an image. The following table shows the possible values.

You use Key and Value attributes to specify a unique key for the domain name.

The following XML example shows how to set the order in which to search DNS servers.

<Interface wcm:action="add">
    <Identifier>Local Area Connection</Identifier>
    <DNSDomain>fabrikam.com</DNSDomain>
    <DNSServerSearchOrder>
        <IpAddress wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="1">192.168.1.1</IpAddress>
        <IpAddress wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="2">192.168.1.2</IpAddress>
    </DNSServerSearchOrder>
</Interface>
