Flush DNS local Cache

If you need to force your system to query DNS Server for a domain instead of using a local DNS cache, you have to flush DNS local cache.

Local DNS cache flush

Open a console with “cmd” and execute:

ipconfig /flushdns

Domain Controller DNS server cache flush

If your DNS Server is a Windows domain controller server, you need to flush the DNS server cache as well.
Connect or ask an administrator to connect to the domain controller and execute this:

Dnscmd /ClearCache

This way, we will flush the DNS server cache.
