Update-DnsServerIanaRootServer

Update the Windows DNS server root [hints] server addresses directly from the IANA named.root file. The named.root file is retrieved at runtime.

Warning

The DNS server MUST have HTTPS access to www.internic.net to work!

This hasn't been turned into a module yet, so literal paths must be used to call the script.

Update IPv4

Force IANA
