Force DNS Update

I can't remember the command that I can type to force a DNS update on a
client computer, anyone know? It was something /force I believe.

Thanks

Hello Rodney,

you can do
IPConfig /registerdns
Then
Net Stopp netlogon && net start netlogon
Net stop "DHCP Client" && net start "DHCP Client"

Ipconfig /registerdns tells the machine to update it's records, the
netlogon process is responsible for updating the records in the forward
lookup zone, the DHCP-Client is responsible for updating the records in
the reverse lookup zone.

The "netlogon" part is only important on Domain Controller's,
where it is essential (ipconfig isn't enough for DCs.)

The "DHCP client" part is roughly equivalent to the the /registerDNS
and so it is redundant to use both.

Separate issue:
It might also be necessary to flush that client's cache, which is different:
ipconfig /flushDNS
