"Element not found" error when adding dns via netsh command

Question

When trying to add dns entries via netsh commands, I get "Element not found" errors.

netsh interface ip set dns “Wi-FI” static 10.0.0.1 1

What is the correct command format for setting both primary and secondary dns via command line?

Answer 1

The following format sets the primary and secondary DNS entries correctly on Windows 8:

netsh interface ip set dns “Wi-Fi” static 10.0.0.1
netsh interface ip add dns “Wi-Fi” 10.0.0.2 index=2
