BranchCache Network Shell and Windows PowerShell Commands

In Windows Server, you can configure and manage BranchCache by using either Windows PowerShell or the Network Shell (Netsh) commands for BranchCache.

In future versions of Windows, Microsoft might remove the netsh functionality for BranchCache. Microsoft recommends that you transition to Windows PowerShell if you currently use netsh to configure and manage BranchCache and other networking technologies.

Windows PowerShell and netsh command references are at the following locations. Although both command references were published for operating systems earlier than Windows Server 2016, these references are accurate for this operating system.

• Netsh Commands for BranchCache in Windows Server 2008 R2

• BranchCache Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell

Tip

To view a list of Windows PowerShell commands for BranchCache at the Windows PowerShell prompt, type Get-Command -Module BranchCache at the Windows PowerShell prompt, and then press ENTER.
