Windows Command Line (cmd) & Batch Script Management

One of the many tools that administrators use on a daily basis is the Windows Command Prompt. Over this course, you'll learn the following skills, which are often used in the real world:





* How to create, rename, move and delete files and directories.

* The different types of file systems and how to navigate between directories

* Setting the date and time on your PC using the date, time and tzutil commands

* Managing and formatting disk drives using the Diskpart command

* Shutting down, restarting and logging off your machine

* Viewing and applying group policy information using the Gpupdate and Gpresult commands

* Creating batch files and some of the most common commands used within them.

* How to access Windows Management Instrumentation database (WMI) information using the WMIC command





Whilst there are some differences between versions of Windows, a lot of these commands haven't changed since Windows 2000, meaning that any prior knowledge of this subject, while not essential by any means, would be advantageous.
