dig (DNS Lookup) specify DNS server on Windows

Question

In Linux, I would use dig to specify a DNS server of 127.0.0.1 with the following command:

dig google.com @127.0.0.1

I installed Bind tools for windows (choco install bind-toolsonly). How can I run that same command? I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\jhilden> dig google.com @127.0.0.1
At line:1 char:21
+ dig google.com @127.0.0.1
+                     ~
Missing property name after reference operator.
At line:1 char:16
+ dig google.com @127.0.0.1
+                ~~~~
The splatting operator '@' cannot be used to reference variables in an
expression. '@127' can be used only as an argument to a command. To
reference variables in an expression use '$127'.

Answer 1

I know this answer doesn't use Bind tools, as you inferred in your question. That said, however, PowerShell comes with the Resolve-DnsName to perform this task. I believe that the following command will do what you are after

Resolve-DnsName -Name google.com -Server 127.0.0.1
