Question

How to switch DNS server via CLI on Plesk for Windows?

Answer

To switch from BIND to MSDNS:

1. Connect to the server via RDP.

2. Open CMD and run these two commands one by one:

   plesk sbin defpackagemng --set --type=dnsserver --default=msdns
   plesk sbin defpackagemng --update --fix

To switch from MSDNS to BIND:

1. Connect to the server via RDP.

2. Open CMD and run these two commands one by one

   plesk sbin defpackagemng --set --type=dnsserver --default=bind
   plesk sbin defpackagemng --update --fix

Note: During those CLI procedures all the DNS records and zones will be left intact.

Note: Plesk UI information at Tools & Settings > Server Components might be cached, so in order to see the DNS server change it is required to re-login to Plesk UI.
