      We have changed an local DNS entry to another ip address. Or actually the customers internal IT has done this.

      How long does it take for users to start using the new ip address?

      • DNS points to a webserver
      • Clients are running Win10 and some Win7
      • Clients are using Chrome .
      • Customer is a Windows shop (mostly) so I think DNS comes from AD?

        i thought they default to one day. Just check the DNS server quick to see.

        Can I do that from a client? How?

        try

         ipconfig /displayDNS

          Assuming they aren't cached, should be just a matter of minutes. This is all internal, correct?

            Yes, just internal.

            I read somewhere that TTL on DNS in AD is 7 days or something by default. I have no clue though. Only have a very cursory understanding of how it works.

              On the client machines, you can force it by running ipconfig /flushdns -- that should force them to get the most recent DNS changes from AD.

                I do not know either, but this would not surprise me. Windows always does shit stupid.

                  Thanks, good to know for future reference. Unfortunately in this case there are about 100 to 150 clients and they are out of our reach.

                      Have your client send an email to everyone - to get the new settings - reboot. problem solved.

                              You can use powershell to flush the DNS of remote systems.

                              Invoke-Command -script {Clear-DnsClientCache} -ComputerName Server01

                              If you have access to the DNS servers, you can try clearing the cache of each server.

                                @Dashrender I just checked a couple of clients and Time To Live where set to 3600 at most and counting down.

                                @Obsolesce If it's default then one hour it is.
