Change Azure VM Network Interface DNS Configuration from Custom to Inherit from virtual network

Question

Change Azure VM Network Interface DNS Configuration from Custom to Inherit from virtual network

JordanP 1

I couldn't find an answer for that yet.

I will explain:

Today we have some Azure VMs using custom DNS configuration instead of Vnet heritage and we would like to use the second option, but we 'd like powershell to force this change for 60 Vms, otherwise we must apply this manually.

Could some one help me please?

Thank you

Hello @JordanP ,

You can use the "Set-AzNetworkInterface" PowerShell commandlet to change DNS settings on a network interface.
Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.network/set-aznetworkinterface?view=azps-4.4.0#description

NOTE : The second command adds DNS server 192.168.1.100 to this interface. To remove a DNS server, follow the commands listed above, but replace ".Add" with ".Remove" in the second command. This will remove the custom DNS server from the interface and revert the DNS server setting to "Inherit from virtual network".

Or you can use the Azure CLI "az network nic update" cmdlet.
Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/nic?view=azure-cli-latest#az-network-nic-update

Hope this helps!

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Your solution is not helpful as this page only displays how to change the IP configurations settings in the NIC, but we want to change the configuration settings of the DNS servers from 'custom' to 'inherit from Vnet'. This is not provided in the article.
