Here’s a simple way to view WHOIS information using Windows Command Line. Just download the WHOIS command-line client called Whois v1.01 from Microsoft as part of its Sysinternals Suite. I have copied it in D:\Utils

Now open the Command Line and type the following command:

whois somesite.com or

whois ipaddress

The results are as shown below:

If you like doing whois by command line a better tool is rebol (easier and quicker to learn than powershell for such kind of task). See whois example here:
