How would netsh help?

Netsh is also localized and changing the codepage does possibly not 
change the output language. Changing the language would also require 
'.../en-US/netsh.exe.mui' file which is not necessarily installed.

If netsh is run interactively, it prints a deprecation warning for 
'interface' and other commands and recommends usage of powershell.

This works but is slow and might violate local security policy:

  powersh()
  {
    local x
    # May require '-ExecutionPolicy ...'
    if ! x=$(powershell -NoProfile -Command "$@" 2>/dev/null); then
      echo "powershell: failed" >&2
      return 1
    fi
    echo "$x" | tr -d '\r'
  }

  search=$(powersh \
    'Get-DnsClientGlobalSetting `
     | ForEach-Object SuffixSearchList')

  nameservers=$(powersh \
    'Get-DnsClientServerAddress `
     | ForEach-Object ServerAddresses `
     | select -Unique')

  # Alternatively
  nameservers=$(powersh \
    'Get-NetIPConfiguration `
     | ForEach-Object DNSServer `
     | ForEach-Object ServerAddresses `
     | select -Unique')

...
