Hi All,  I am trying to execute the following : ======== function setDNSonESXi { try{ $esxiName = Read-Host "Enter ESXi Name" $dnsServers = Read-Host "Enter DNS Servers as comma separated values  " Get-VMHost -Name $esxiName | %{ $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $_ -V2 $esxcli.network.ip.dns.server.list.Invoke() | select -ExpandProperty DNSServers | %{ $sOldDns = @{ server = $_ } $esxcli.network.ip.dns.server.remove.Invoke($sOldDns) } $dnsServers | %{ $sDns = @{ server = $_ } $esxcli.network.ip.dns.server.add.Invoke($sDns) } } } catch{ Write-Host -foregroundColor Red -backgroundColor Black "`nCould not add DNS to the server" throw $_.Exception.Message exit } } ======== However, when I execute this, it asks me for the input, and if I give multiple IP addresses, it gives the following error(IPs masked) :  ===== Could not add DNS to the server Message: EsxCLI.CLIFault.summary; InnerText: The specified address 'x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y' is not recognised as a valid IP addressEsxCLI.CLIFault.summary At E:\Test_setDNSUtilityForESXiHosts.ps1:142 char:3 + throw $_.Exception.Message + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (Message: EsxCLI...LIFault.summary:String) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Message: EsxCLI.CLIFault.summary; InnerText: The specified address 'x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y' is not recognised as a valid IP addressEsxCLI.CLIFault.summary ================ and when I give only 1 IP address, it throws the following error :  ================ select : Property "DNSServers" cannot be found.
