Still using nslookup when troubleshooting and verifying DNS records?
Since Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 arrived, I’ve been switching to the cmdlet Resolve-DnsName instead.
Two of the benefits are:

• It gives ju way nicer and much more structured data that easily can be used in scripting scenarios.
• It’s faster to write, just type Reso<tab> in your Powershell window.
