Thread: difference between dnscmd /clearcache and ipconfig /flushdns

    difference between dnscmd /clearcache and ipconfig /flushdns

    Do "dnscmd /clearcache" and "ipconfig /flushdns" the exact same thing,
    on a windows 2003 server?

    What is the difference, if any?


    TIA,

    -Gian

    Hi there.

    Ipconfig /flushdns will flush the local computer cache. And dnscmd
    /clearcache will clear the dns server cache.

    Meaning that with the first you will clear the "local" cache of the
    server you work on. (Even if it is the dns server. It will NOT clear
    the dns server cache.) While with dnscmd you will clear the dns server
    cache.

    best regards

    John
