The Add-DhcpServerv4OptionDefinition cmdlet adds a new DHCPv4 option definition on the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service.
An option definition must exist before an option value of that type can be configured.
Examples
Example 1: Add the IPv4 option definition for web proxy auto detection
This example adds the option definition for the Unified Communications (UC) identifier for the vendor class named MS-UC-Client.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job.
Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
