Commands For Windows Server Core

This is a small collection of command line commands that make working with server core easier:

start cmd: open a new command prompt window

taskmgr: the classic command works

notepad: still works, as is always useful

shutdown –l: logoff the server

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Network Monitor 3\netmon.exe: If netmon is installed through the GUI setup, then the installer adds the directory to that path; which makes it even easier to run. But, if you use a command line quiet (/q) install, then you need to type out the whole path.
