server core and command prompt

Question

Thought came to mind as I am studying for my 40-711 MCSA test later today, and I'm not near my server lab at home to test.

Do CMD commands work in a server core install of MS Server 2012 R2? For example, I'm refreshing up on DNS and the thought came to mind if I wanted to get the currently cached DNS records, could I use ipconfig /displaydns instead of Show-DNSServerCache?

Yes, all the commands you would normally use (ipconfig, netsh etc) will work in Server Core.

Edited to add: Here's some additional commands you may find helpful -https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630943.aspx

Thank you, I actually passed my test yesterday, and I don't recall having any server vote command related questions. – Zach85 Feb 04 '18 at 02:33
