Tracert (Trace Route) is a route-tracing utility that is used to determine the path that an IP datagram takes to reach a destination. The tracert command uses the IP Time-to-Live (TTL) field and ICMP error messages to determine the route from one host to another through a network.

Step 1 In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using section below.

Note: When entering arguments, the tracert command is already implied. Do not enter it in the Arguments field.

Step 2 Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.

Step 3 If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run regardless of the level of server activity.
