Thanks for the help there. I got it to work to set the primary but I
didn't see in the help function if I could set a secondary or
alternative DNS server. Anyone can help me here?

I think I just answered my followup question:

netsh int ip add dns "Local Area Connection" <ip address> index=2

Thanks for the help there chuck.
