How to clear all Workstation DNS caches from PowerShell

I recently found myself in need of the ability to clear the DNS cache of all the laptops in my company. I found a very powerful and simple way to do so and thought I would share.

$c = Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingsystem -notlike "*server*" }
Invoke-Command -cn $c.name -SCRIPT { ipconfig /flushdns }

The first line queries Active Directory for all computers that are not servers. The second line simply invokes the normal windows command “ipconfig /flushdns” on all computers.

This technique could be used to run any command across all workstations. Very powerful, and dangerous. Use at your own risk!
