Netsh Commands For Administrators: netsh (The Network Services shell) is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a currently running computer. When you run netsh from the Cmd.exe command prompt, netsh uses the following syntax. Used without parameters, netsh opens the Netsh.exe command prompt (that is, netsh>). [Notes: Netsh Syntax - for backward compatibility, you can use netsh interface ip in place of netsh interface ipv4. For IPv6 Netsh commands, you must specify IPv6. Note also for static settings, the interface name is simply local area connection. The syntax name="local area connection” is acceptable but not necessary. For dynamic configuration you need to use name="local area connection”.] Syntax netsh [-a AliasFile] [-c Context] [-r RemoteComputer] [{NetshCommand|-f ScriptFile}] Parameters -a :Returns you to the netsh prompt after running AliasFile. AliasFile :Specifies the name of the text file that contains one or more netsh commands. -c :Changes to the specified netsh context. Context :Specifies the netsh context. The following table lists the available netsh contexts. Example commands: To display all of the adapters in the computer with their current IP addresses:

They control the behavior of various programs. For example, the TEMP environment variable specifies the location in which programs place temporary files. Any user can add, modify, or remove a user environment variable. However, only an administrator can add, modify or remove a system environment variable. Using System in Control Panel, you can customize the following variables: 1. User management Environment Variables for logged_on_user_name: The user environment variables are different for each user of a particular computer. The variables include any that are set by the user, as well as any variables defined by programs, such as the path to the location of the program files. 2. System path Environment Variables: Administrators can change or add environment variables that apply to the system, and thus to all system users. During installation, Windows Setup configures the default system variables, such as the path to the Windows files. 3. Discrete value Environment Variable: These are generally expanded to discrete values, such as the current working directory, the current date, or a random number. Some of these are true environment variable and will be expanded by all functions that handle environment variables. These variables are not case sensitive.

Recovery Console is not available on Vista or higher. Refer Appendix-A] ATTRIB CHKDSK DIR EXPAND LISTSVC MORE RMDIR BATCH CLS DISABLE FIXBOOT LOGON NET SYSTEMROOT

BOOTCFG COPY DISKPART FIXMBR MAP RD TYPE CD DEL ENABLE FORMAT MD REN CHDIR DELETE EXIT HELP MKDIR RENAME COMMAND USAGES: [Notes: See above table for rest of the command in the above table.] Batch: executes commands that you specify in the text file, Inputfile. Output file holds the output of the commands. If you omit the Output file parameter, output appears on the screen. CD (Chdir): operates only in the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. Chkdsk: The /p switch runs Chkdsk even if the drive is not flagged as dirty. The /r switch locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. This switch implies /p. Chkdsk requires Autochk. Chkdsk automatically looks for Autochk.exe in the startup folder. If Chkdsk cannot find the file in the startup folder, it looks for the Windows Setup CD-ROM. If Chkdsk cannot find the installation CD-ROM, Chkdsk prompts the user for the location of Autochk.exe. Copy: copies one file to a target location. By default, the target cannot be removable media, and you cannot use wildcard characters. Copying a compressed file from the Windows 2000 Setup CD-ROM automatically decompresses the file. Del (Delete): deletes one file. Operates within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. By default, you cannot use wildcard characters. Dir: displays a list of all files, including hidden and system files. Disable: disables a Windows system service or driver. The variable service_or_driver is the name of the service or driver that you want to disable. When you use this command to disable a service, the command displays the service‟s original startup type before it changes the type to SERVICE_DISABLED. Note the original startup type so that you can use the enable command to restart the service. Enable: enables a Windows system service or driver. The variable service_or_driver is the name of the service or driver that you want to enable, and start_type is the startup type for an enabled service. The startup type uses one of the following formats: SERVICE_BOOT_START SERVICE_SYSTEM_START SERVICE_AUTO_START SERVICE_DEMAND_START Exit: quits the Recovery Console, and then restarts the computer. Expand: expands a compressed file. The variable source is the file that you want to expand. By default, you cannot use wildcard characters. The variable destination is the directory for the new file. By default, the destination cannot be removable media and cannot be read-only. You can use the attrib command to remove the read-only attribute from the destination directory. The option /f:filespec is required if the source contains more than one file. This option permits wildcard characters. The /y switch disables the overwrite confirmation prompt. Fixboot: writes a new startup sector on the system partition. Fixmbr: repairs the startup partition‟s master boot code. The variable device is an optional name that specifies the device that requires a new Master Boot Record. Omit this variable when the target is the startup device. Format: formats a disk. The /q switch performs a quick format. The /fs switch specifies the file system. Help: If you do not use the command variable to specify a command, help lists all the commands that the Recovery Console supports. Listsvc: displays all available services and drivers on the computer. Logon: displays detected installations of Windows and requests the local Administrator password for those installations. Use this command to move to another installation or subdirectory. Map: displays currently active device mappings. Include the arc option to specify the use of Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) paths (the format for Boot.ini) instead of Windows device paths. MD (Mkdir): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. More/Type: displays the specified text file on screen. Rd (Rmdir): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. Ren (Rename): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. You cannot specify a new drive or path as the target. Set: displays and sets the Recovery Console environment variables. Systemroot: sets the current directory to %SystemRoot%.

TCP/IP: In Windows XP / Windows Server 2003, IPv4 protocol is the core networking protocol. You can‟t uninstall it. But you can install/uninstall IPv6 protocol. In Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 or higher, IPv6 protocol is the core networking protocol. You can‟t uninstall it. But you can install/uninstall IPv4 protocol.

5. The /allcompartmentsswitch: If you use the /allcompartments switch after the Ipconfig command, you can apply the command universally across all interfaces; for example, ipconfig /allcompartments /all or ipconfig /allcompartments /renew. 6. Windows Live Essentials: Windows Live Essentials 2011 (Wave 4, version 15 or higher) and its components can run only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 or later. For Windows XP use Windows Live Essential (Wave 3, version 14). Windows Live Essential can‟t be installed on Windows Server 2003 / Server 2008 / 2008 R2. 7. XPS Viewer: “XPS Essentials Pack” or “XPS Viewer EP” is a standalone application from Microsoft to view and create XPS formats. Also you can view XPS documents in Internet Explorer if “.NET Framework 3.0” or higher isinstalled. 8. Recovery: For Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7 or higher, Recovery Console is not available (as previously with Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003). This is replaced by various advance recovery options. You can use commands to diagnose and troubleshoot the OS related issues through booting with a recovery disk or by a Windows DVD in recovery mode. Use the following commands: Restore System files and Settings: srtrui.exe Windows Complete PC Restore: bmrui.exe Windows DISM Capture: dwscapture.exe For Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 (not for Vista) you don‟t need to boot from Windows DVD to use system recovery functions. Press F8 before windows start up and select Repair Your Computer options from the “Advance Boot Options” menu, to get into System Recovery Options. You only need the “Windows Installation Disc” or “System Repair Disc” only when you can‟t boot windows or when you get the error “Bootmgr is missing”. 9. RUN AS: This command line tool enables you to run programs using the credential of another user. This feature has been improved in Windows 7 as Run As Administrator in the graphical mode. In the command line mode this tool has also some extended functions in Windows 7. 10. Command Tips (Create shortcut): Many commands in this ebook can be used for executing a task or configuring system settings. The commands can be run from RUN box or commands prompt. If you want to use the particular command frequently then you can make a shortcut and place it on the Desktop / Start Menu for an easy use of it. If you find problem with the some commands (mentioned in this ebook) in Windows Vista or higher then use / (forward slash) instead of - (dash) for the options in a particular command. To create a shortcut for program: right-click on the desktop click New > Shortcut. In the location type / paste the command and click Next, then type a proper title / name for that program and click finish. To create shortcut for the GUID commands add the word “shell:” before that command if that word is not present in that command and paste in the location box. 11. Creating Command for Programs: You can make your own commands too. If you want to launch a program from RUN or from command prompt. Follow these steps: Create a shortcut for a program. Name the shortcut anything as you wish. Don‟t name this same to windows commands, otherwise this will not work. Copy it to the “%windows%\system32” folder. Then open RUN box, type in the name and press Enter. 12. Running Recovery Console: Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer. Press any key to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted. When the “Welcome to Setup” screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. Or ENTER for blank password. At the command prompt, type the appropriate commands to diagnose and repair your Windows XP installation. For a list of commands that are available in Recovery Console, type recoveries console commands or help and pressENTER. For information about a specific command, type help command name at the command prompt and then press ENTER. To exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, issue exit command. How to install the Recovery Console Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive. Click Start, and click RUN. Then type x:\i386\winnt32 /cmdcons where x is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.

A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes. Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, “Microsoft Windows Recovery Console” appears on the startup menu. Notes: Always use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD to Install the Recovery Console and to avoid any error - refer to: KB898594. 13. MMC: Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins can be opened with the default consoles (.msc extension) installed with Windows. You can create custom console file, save it in the system32 folder and can open from command prompt or from RUN. When saving the console the file name should be unique, without space and must not conflict with other windows files or commands. You can open console snap-ins in two ways: Example: Device manager Commands: devmgmt.msc or mmc devmgmt.msc 14. Creating custom Command for an App: Open Registry Editor (from Start Menu > RUN and type regedit then press Enter): Go to the location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\ Create a new Key and name it as per exact executable file name of your app (example “windbg.exe" file for "Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)"). Remember to add .exe in the key name. The key name must be same as the app's executable name to avoid confusion. Then in the right pane change the value of the default string value named as "Default", to the address of the app's installation folder.
