Through the CLI (either cmd.exe or PowerShell) on Windows 7, how do I edit the TCP/IP DNS parameters for a specific network adapter?

netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=none
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=8.8.4.4 index=1
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=8.8.8.8 index=2
netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp
Might need to flush the dns too. ipconfig /flushdns

Main thing: you can set first DNS as static entry. Next you can only add/append other DNS servers. So, to set primary DNS server use something like this:
netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" static 8.8.8.8
for adding/appending other DNS servers you have to use add option, something like this:
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=8.8.4.4 index=2
Or to simplify the 2 statement: netsh interface ip add dns "Local Area Connection" 8.8.4.4 2

There is a ton of information on managing DNS servers with Powershell, here is a great article from the scripting guys:
If your wanting to manage your own Local DNS settings on your workstation, you can use powershell to connect to WMI, and use the DNS WMI classes.
