How do I get rid of the many DNS entries on our office server
When I run the IPconfig /all command on our office 2012 r2 server, I am receiving a large number of DNS servers in the list. Instead of the responce just listing the IP address of the server itself (172.16.4.1 and 127.0.0.1) and then letting the forwarder on this server take over, I also see the following DNS servers in the list.
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
8.26.56.26
8.20.247.20
156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1
How do I remove all of these entries?
Thanks for your assistance.

It's fine to have them as forwarders in the DNS config, but they should never be used on the NIC configuration of a domain machine.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
