Hello,

`qm` is more general than an interface for `qemu-guest-agent` as it can work without the agent installed on VMs. Have you tried reading the manual for `qm` using `man qm`?

qm guest exec VMID

This is the QEMU part, i.e. the general one.

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers name="Ethernet" static 8.8.8.8 primary

This is a Windows CMD command to set the network configuration.

The only thing you do with it is send a command to the operating system via the QEMU Guest Agent. The command is as if you were there directly via CMD and entered it there. Accordingly, the commands only work if the Guest Agent is already running.

But with this part you are completely free to decide which instructions you give to the VM. So if you're looking for a list of what you can do, you'll have to contact the manufacturers or developers of the operating systems. Neither QEMU nor Proxmox can do this.

But if you have specific use cases where you're stuck, you can always ask here in the forum. Someone here will definitely be able to help you.
