Description

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


* How to create, rename, move and delete files and directories within the Windows operating system using the command line.

* The different types of file systems and how to navigate between directories using the cmd prompt.

* 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, which can often be useful when troubleshooting conflicting group policies.

* Creating cmd batch files and some of the most common commands used within them, which can often save time when dealing with repetitive tasks.

* How to access system information contained within the Windows Management Instrumentation database (WMI) information using the WMIC command and sub-commands.


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 at any stage of your IT career.

The dialog went a little fast so I had to keep rewinding it to get all the information. The transcript did an okay job at translating the speaker but had some issues along the way. I thought there would have been more on batch scripting.

I wanted more detail about partitioning hard drives. Very bored in the beginning because I knew everything he discussed. When he got to the video I was interested in, creating batch files and using diskpart, he zoomed thru it. I would like to practice along with an instructor. I want a refund for this series.

It was a good match for me because I really wanted to learn how scripting works in windows and this was a perfect match for that course.

Thanks for Covering all basic commands, I can say - we have covered all the basic command that people uses from day 1. Tried to cover everything though I was expecting more about wmic and batch scripts.

Considero que ha sido buena elección, porque reviso conceptos olvidados y estoy aprendiendo nuevos comandos en el sistema operativo Windows

Learn a few new things but course was quick so you'll have to review some of the commands. Basic intro to some of the commands, for instance Batch File section. You won't be an expert at all.

The course is actually so cool to learn about the cmd as a shortcut to all your pc but more examples or in video examples would be actually a great help to understand more the theory.

The instructor gives clear and complete explanations of all the command line codes in a logical order. He speaks very quickly, though, so be ready to hit the pause button and replay sections. It would be helpful to have a written transcript.

The course was very useful. The presentation was a little bit fast. Had to reduce the speed to follow the lectures. Hope to see more commands included in the course in the future. Thanks!

Had purchased to learn about Batch files, very little information provided. Reached out to instructor regarding additional resources for the topic, never heard back.

When he's commenting on the main screen of the ppt he should have bullets. Especially because of the thick accent. I had to replay several sections to understand and write down what he said. I would like to have seen him highlighting content/areas when speaking so I knew what he was talking about. There's a lot of information on the screen and it's sometimes hard to figure out where he is. And - speaks waaay too fast. Not enough explanation.
