Description
The Clear-DnsServerStatistics cmdlet clears all Domain Name System (DNS) server statistics. After you have cleared the statistics, you cannot retrieve them.
If you specify the ZoneName parameter, the cmdlet clears statistics for the specified zones. If you do not specify the ZoneName parameter, the cmdlet clears aggregated server level statistics.
Examples
Example 1: Clear DNS server statistics
PS C:\> Clear-DnsServerStatistics
Confirm
Cleared statistics cannot be retrieved later, do you want to continue?
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):
This command clears statistics from a DNS server.
Example 2: Clear DNS server statistics from a zone
PS C:\> Clear-DnsServerStatistics -ZoneName "Contoso.com"
This command clears statistics from a DNS server for the zone named Contoso.com.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
