When to use a command-line command

 

For desktop administrators,a graphical user interface provides helpful display features such as windows, pull-down menus and scroll bars. But a tried-and-true command-line command can accomplish almost all of the same tasks -- sometimes more efficiently, especially if you're scripting.
Windows 7 has myriad command-line scripts built into the operating system that you can use to shut down a user's computer, turn a firewall on or off, or force an update. Because they're so useful and there are so many, it's a good idea to start exploring some basic Windows 7 command prompts.
Here's one to get you started. If you run a large network space, you can apply all of the commands in this slideshow to a group of remote computers with this command-line command:
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO netsh -r 192.168.1.%i advfirewall show allprofiles >192.168.1.%i.firewallstate.txt.
This will execute whatever command you need on multiple computers or IP addresses.
In the example above, netsh is a place holder. You can put any switch you want in its place to execute across multiple computers.

Another query command that can come in handy if, for example, you have to see the results of a security audit is auditpol /get /category:* .With this command, you can ask for and establish audit settings on a local computer.  To see the same results in CSV format you can use auditpol /get /catego...

Shut down a computer with shutdown /s Sometimes, when you're going through your systems management routines, you may have to shut down or restart a user's computer. The shutdown /s command is a script to do just that. The user receives a notification saying their computer will shut down in one minute. If you are performing the command remotely, you should use shutdown /m \\computername /s . To automatically have the computer restart, you would use shutdown /r . If you start to shut down a computer and change your mind, you can abort the operation with shutdown /a . If you want to ensure the user has enough warning before the shutdown, you can give them two minutes with shutdown /r /t 120 /c "Shutting Down for maintenance" /f /d p:4:1 . If you don't need to shut down a user's computer but you do need to ensure it is fully updated before the Windows Update/Automatic Update client does its job, you can use wuauclt /detectnow to do so.
