Command lines in Windows

September 11, 2018 |







Some cases, we can use command lines so that open tools, access system,... where we cannot open by GUI in windows or linux OS.

I. Command lines in Windows
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection
    Typing the flowing command line below:

C:\Users\<user_name>> mstsc

How to check port of Remote Desktop:
1. Open regedit
2. Go to Navigate to the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
3. find PortNumber
4. You can edit port and restart Remote Desktop Services.

2. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Typing the flowing command line below:


C:\Users\<user_name>> ssms



3. Open other command line window with administator user.
    Typing the flowing command line below:

C:\Users\<user_name>> runas /user:Administrator cmd
and then enter password.
4. Restart a Windows service

net stop workstation

net start workstation

With the command line, we can resolve the issue:
"Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed".

5. "Netstat" command line.
Netstart command is used show TCP/IP port in windows. We can use for check port which program is using or not.

Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.

NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-f] [-n] [-o] [-p proto] [-r] [-s] [-t] [interval]

  -a            Displays all connections and listening ports.
  -b            Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or
                listening port. In some cases well-known executables host
                multiple independent components, and in these cases the
                sequence of components involved in creating the connection
                or listening port is displayed. In this case the executable
                name is in [] at the bottom, on top is the component it called,
                and so forth until TCP/IP was reached. Note that this option
                can be time-consuming and will fail unless you have sufficient
                permissions.
  -e            Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s
                option.
  -f            Displays Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) for foreign
                addresses.
  -n            Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.
  -o            Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection.
  -p proto      Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto
                may be any of: TCP, UDP, TCPv6, or UDPv6.  If used with the -s
                option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be any of:
                IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, or UDPv6.
  -r            Displays the routing table.
  -s            Displays per-protocol statistics.  By default, statistics are
                shown for IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, and UDPv6;
                the -p option may be used to specify a subset of the default.
  -t            Displays the current connection offload state.
  interval      Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds
                between each display.  Press CTRL+C to stop redisplaying
                statistics.  If omitted, netstat will print the current
                configuration information once.
Example:
netstat -ab
netstat -aon
