TestOut PC Pro 9.1.9 System Command Facts

exit

The exit command ends the current command prompt session and closes the Command Prompt window.

expand

The expand command is used to expand compressed .cab files. - expand -d [source_file] displays the contents of a specified .cab file. - expand [source_file] [destination] expands all the files in the specified .cab file to the chosen destination. - expand [source_file] f: [filename] [destination] extracts a single file from the specified .cab file to the chosen destination.

gpresult

The gpresult command displays Group Policy settings and Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP) for a user or a computer. - /s computer specifies the name or IP address of a remote computer. (Do not use backslashes.) The default is the local computer. - /u domain /user runs the command with the account permissions of the user that is specified by user or domain/user. The default is the permissions of the current logged-on user on the computer that issues the command. -/p password specifies the password of the user account that is specified in the /u parameter. - /user targer_user name specifies the user name of the user whose RSOP data is to be displayed. - /scope {user / computer} displays either user or computer results. Valid values for the /scope parameter are user or computer. If you omit the /scope parameter, gpresult displays both user and computer settings. /v specifies that the output display verbose policy information. /z specifies that the output display all available information about Group Policy. Because this parameter produces more information than the /v parameter, redirect output to a text file when you use this parameter (for example, gpresult /z >policy.txt). - /? displays help at the command prompt. To run the gpresult command, use the following syntax: - gpresult [ /s computer[ /u domain/user /p password]] [ /user target_user name] [ /scope {user / computer}] [ /v] [/z].

gpupdate

The gpupdate command refreshes local and Active Directory-based Group Policy settings, including security settings. - /target: { computer / user } processes only the computer settings or the current user settings. By default, both the computer settings and the user settings are processed. - /force ignores all processing optimizations and reapplies all settings. - /wait: value identifies the number of seconds that policy processing waits to finish. The default is 600 seconds. 0 means "no wait"; -1 means "wait indefinitely." - /logoff logs off after the refresh has completed. This is required for those Group Policy client-side extensions that do not process on a background refresh cycle but that do process when the user logs on, such as user software installation and folder redirection. This option has no effect if there are no extensions called that require the user to log off. - /boot restarts the computer after the refresh has completed. This is required for those Group Policy client-side eextensions that do not process on a background refresh cycle but that do process when the computer starts up, such as computer software installation. This option has no effect if there are no extensions called that require the computer to be restarted. - /? displays help at the command prompt. To run the gpupdate command, use the following syntax: - gpupdate [/target: {computer/user}] [/force] [ /wait: value] [/logoff] [/boot].

mstsc

The mstsc command is used to establish a remote desktop session with another computer. To run the mstsc command, use the following syntax: - mstsc /v:[server_ip].

shutdown

The shutdown command is used to shutdown local and remote systems. The following options can be used with the shutdown command: - /i opens the Remote Shutdown Dialog graphical interface window. - /l logs off the current user from the local system. - /r shuts down and restarts the local computer. - /h causes the computer to hibernate. - /t [xx] sets a delay time (in seconds) before the computer shuts down.

taskkill

The taskkill command is used to end running processes. - taskkill /in [image_name] kills the specified process by using its image name (e.g., mspaint.exe) - taskkill /PID [pid_number] kills the specified process by using its PID (e.g., 3572). Sometimes a process will not respond to the taskkill command. If this is the case, use the /f option with the command, which forces the process to close.

tasklist

The tasklist command displays a list of the processes that are currently running on the system. The output of the tasklist command includes a process ID (PID) that can be used to end the process.
