pro tip - don't do ipconfig /release if you are remotely managing a machine. you'll disconnect yourself. Instead do "ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew " so it will grab the new ip and you can get back into the machine!

For anyone wondering about that shutdown command, the flags are as follows: /r - restart (pretty self explanatory) /fw - firmware - boots to user firmware, this is what brings us to BIOS /f - force - forces shutdown of applications (doesn't asked), can result in loss of unsaved data /t - time-out - specifies timeout before shutdown in seconds, defaults to 30

As a retired PC tech this video is a throwback reminder to days when these commands were all you had ! It's refreshing to see them being "rediscovered" they've always been there, ever since the days of DOS and come in real handy when Windows and your network take a dump, there are even a lot more commands than these I would like to see an expanded video of those.

[@jcchaconjr]

One set of shutdown command parameters I use when I need to reboot a machine is 'shutdown /r /t 0'... As you mentioned, /r will reboot the machine, and /t with the value 0 will do it immediately - it otherwise puts up a dialog with a timer (60 seconds, IIRC) before it commences the shutdown. The /m switch has also saved me a few times when I have lost access to a machine with no remote power management set up... You can issue this command remotely to another machine (as long as WinRM is accepting remote requests) by adding /m \\ to the parameter list. This was a great rundown of commands - some of which that I have used in the past at one time or another in my previous job - thanks for sharing, Chuck!

[@BulletNG]

I've used the timer command so many times. For example, if I don't want to wait around for a computer to finish a scan or an update, I pop in the timer for when it's estimated to finish.

[@-mrws-]

[@ReadTheShrill]

Been programming professionally and doing network support and IT for 30+ years, and still there are some commands on this list I didn't know about. Nicely done.

[@-ray-h]

These were all awesome commands especially the last one... The command c:\ shutdown /r /fw /f /t 0 is used to restart the computer and immediately boot into the UEFI BIOS settings. The break down what each part of the command does: shutdown: This is the main command to shut down or restart the computer. /r: Specifies that the computer should restart. /fw: Indicates that the next boot should go directly to the UEFI firmware settings (BIOS). /f: Forces running applications to close without warning. /t 0: Sets the delay time before the restart to zero seconds, meaning an immediate restart. Executing this command will restart your computer and take you directly to the UEFI BIOS settings. It sure is a handy shortcut for accessing BIOS configurations without going through the usual boot process.

[@edwardmacnab354]

can it be made to run as a batch file at startup so you can select another OS in your boot manager

[@CatFM1015]

Saved video for continuous future use - NEVER take this down please!!

[@organicmechanic5150]

Always love a Network Chuck tutorial, straight to the point and easy to follow.

[@SerRipsen]

For Shutdown don't use "/t 0" as the command will wait for apps to close and if any app has those "save your work" dialog boxes then it will cancel the reboot. Instead use "/t 1" and it will bypass those prompts. Very useful when you have 400 apps open and cba to close them manually.

[@RasmusFMS]

Alternatively, use "/f", and it will force the shutdown with no delay

[@someguy4915]

When using /t higher than 0, the /f (Force shutdown/reboot) is implied in Windows, so either '/s /f /t 0' or '/s /t 1' does the same besides the slightly longer wait.

[@privateinfo4820]

After 30 some years doing this stuff I was saddened you didn't mention the up arrow (or down arrow.. ) to scroll through previous commands you've entered! Very simple and very handy way to navigate cmd prompt work.. also use the left right arrow keys within a cmd line to edit, insert, etc.. keys before hitting Enter..

[@leecowell8165]

in linux they're called "bash" files.. acronym for "born again shell". btw in linux all commands are in lower case because everything in linux IS case sensitive including file/directory names. thus boohoo.sy.sh is NOT the same as Boohoo.sy.sh. and note the 2 dots here. linux doesn't use extensions but there are still defaults that users typically define such as ..sh for a typical bash file. oh. no drive letters either everything in unix/linux is defined as a gigantic tree that begins under a partition and those partitions can be located on any drive that is mounted. note though that if you unmount a partition everything within it goes "bye-bye" (which is completely different than windows).

what is batch file and what are you guys talking about if you could explain

[@NCwiok]

@@B0TZ a batch file is a script file for Windows that allows you to write commands out in advance and then save it for execution later. If you open notepad.exe and then input something youd run in the command prompt, then save it as *filename*.bat, you can run that command any time you double click it. Try a few of the commands that NetworkChuck showed in this video, it's very helpful to keep on a flash drive to troubleshoot your friends or family's devices. Personally I use "Shutdown -r -f -t 0" in a .bat file all the time for computers I know have been on all the time just in case a Windows update is preventing a restart.

I dont like to leave my computer on all night but if something is downloading I will put the computer on a sleep timer. I have a stop sleep batch file shutdown /a to abort in case I need to cancel it. Thank you for the video. I always new basic commands like netstat and ipconfigs, but today I learned about pipelines and kill commands. I swear this ten minute video taught me more than an hour of class when I went to ITT Tech.

For command prompt: Windows + R type cmd Ctrl + Shift + Enter (For administrator mode)

[@fr0stief0n]

cool tip, I always thought u can't run as admin mode in run box

[@blargh82]

Same thing but for Windows Terminal (I prefer using Terminal instead of Command Prompt) Windows + R type wt Ctrl + Shift + Enter

[@egokhanturk]

@@blargh82for windows terminal you can set to run admin mode everytime. Then you can type wt in windows explorer's address bar hit enter bum admin mode and no need cd command

[@maltnz]

Use the UP ARROW to repeat last command if you want to run it again or add switches. No need to retype from scratch.

Two more I use frequently are: logoff... which logs you off far easier than using shutdown And pathping, that is kind of a combo between tracert and ping. It'll ping the destination server and all hops between source and destination, timing each hop, for those times when it might actually be the network 😜 I did learn clip today, didn't know that one, glad to know there is a powershell set-clipboard equivalent in cmd!

[@serpent77]

Oh. Another I use on occasion is arp, it displays and modifies the arp table of the machine, arp -d will display all the Mac addresses you computer has talked to on the local network, again for those times when it's not DNS 😜😂🤣

Network Chuck you are the best KZbinr I've ever watched for educational purposes. Thank you and please don't quit you're awesome 😌

[@chriscanadahello]

lol, you make it look so easy brother, i'm following you and i remember using floppy disks but cmd commands you share are so cool, i had no idea until you showed me, ty

[@apreshdesai9116]

You are a legend!! Keep up the good work/ videos 😊

[@damienharabalja9071]

The final command is the best one. Some computers have a different button to get into the bios. The “shutdown /r /fw /f /t makes it easier.

[@bm4680]

I have to admit I'm very impressed with the reboot into BIOS command. Slick.

I know some things but I was sleeping on these commands! Quality video btw! Thank you!!

I've been trying to rid my computer of a file association and failed, over and over again, but thanks to this video, I SUCCEEDED! Yay! The file type is now associated with the program I want!

[@sambolimbo]

These are the best pro life tips for using DOS commands. I'm not a nerd or geek, but I work on computers quite often. So these commands are amazing.

[@jamescashmore1452]

DISM /Online /Cleanup /CheckHealth error 87 , what does that mean ???

[@TomasMisura]

I think this is great summary the most useful commands that amateur and even professional admins need to know
