Flush DNS Cache with PowerShell

Awhile ago I wrote a blog post called PowerShell Networking Cheat sheet, where I put together several networking commands which can be replaced by PowerShell. One of the latest once I saw and a couple of people requested is how you flush the DNS cache using PowerShell. This would allow you to replace ipconfig/ flushdns with PowerShell. Guess what, Microsoft as now a PowerShell cmdlet for that.

Clear and Flush DNS with PowerShell

You can use the following command to clear the DNS cache on a Windows system using PowerShell

 
Clear-DnsClientCache

Show DNS Cache with PowerShell

There is also a PowerShell command to show you the DNS cache:

 
Get-DnsClientCache

I hope this blog post and these commands are useful.
