Searching for dns lookup tool

 

Hi David,

 

You don't need any additional software to monitor your web, email and name server compliance and connectivity. Everything you need you already have in your Windows. The tool, or more specific, the command you are looking for is called the NSLookup. It is quite powerful and useful tool which will give you every information about your DNS records.

 

You can start it by opening a Command Prompt (click the Start button, choose Run, type cmd and click the OK).

Once your Command Prompt is up type nslookup and press Enter.

 

To see details about the options and use of the NSLookup type help or ? and press Enter.
