CLI switches: Are they on MS exams?

There are tonnes of commands in Windows Server/client environment , but what's scary is the additional switches that come with a CLI. Let me give you a simple example: ipconfig /flushdns

While one may remember the actual command, it's difficult to remember numerous switches that come with it. Nobody knows what questions Billy Boy has developed, but should I expect CLI commands with switches?

    You know, I think I have had a few on nearly every test. So I would say yes. Mainly ipconfig and dnscmd. YMMV.

    EDIT: Oh, and LOTS of AD based stuff...

    With experience, you'll learn which commands are more common than others. The more common a utility is, the more in-depth you should learn it. Something like IPConfig is very popular.

    I wouldn't be too concerned about the specific switches. Focus more on learning what utilities there are and what they would be used for.
