Hi ,

Based on my understanding, you want to modify DNS server via GPO only for those static IP computers. You don't want to modify DNS server for DHCP-assigned computers. Is that right? Please feel free to let me know if my understanding is wrong.

Group policies can assigned to the Active Directory organizational unit (OU) in which the computer or user are placed. So if my understanding is right, you can divide those static IP computers into a separate OU in advance and push the GPO settings.

If your static IP computers and DHCP-assigned computers are in the same OU, then you could split static IP computers into a different security group. Add the specified security group and only give this security group read and apply group policy permission. Then GPO settings will only apply to this specified security group.

For how to set DNS servers via GPO, you can refer to the following article:

Set DNS servers via GPO Server 2012 R2

Hi ,

There is no simple command can achieve your goal. Since I am not an expert in scripting, I am not sure whether you can do it via script. You might need to write a complex script.

You sure can. Run on each computer (locally or remotely)

 Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter IPEnabled=TRUE | Where-Object {!$_.DHCPEnabled} | ForEach-Object { $_.SetDNSServerSearchOrder('8.8.8.8','8.8.8.4')}

or something along these lines.
