Make a User

Two lines to create a new user and give it local admin in a CMD window, only really useful for making admin accounts since Azure took over.

net user <username> <password> /add
net localgroup administrators <username> /add

Related: To change a password it’s just:

Net user <username> <password>

Set a computer to not sleep when plugged in:

powercfg /x -standby-timeout-ac 0

Force restart a computer

When someone’s getting fired change their password with the above and then hit em with this.

shutdown /r /t 0 /f	

Note: The /r means restart, the /t 0 means ‘In 0 seconds’ and the /f means force. So if you just want to shut it down you can figure it out

Scan the file system

sfc/scannow

It does something I think, mostly it just leaves a processing CMD window on the client screen. Great if you want to get a coffee, nobody questions a processing CMD window.
