    The only way to do that - assuming you want the same DNS settngs on all FGT - would be to assign them to a provisioning template and enable the dns module in there and set it up there.

      I'd suggest to look into scripting this on FMG side - this is exactly the use case for scripting. You can run the same CLI script on all Fortigates or run TCL script on device database then push to all the Fortigates.

      Example to start reading: Administration Guide | FortiManager 6.2.0 | Fortinet Documentation Library

      Also some experience sharing here Useful script example on Fortimanager | Fortinet Technical Discussion Forums

        why should you script that if there is a more easier way? This can simply be done using provisioning template in FMG Device Manager. This is exactly one of the cases provisioning templates are there for.
