Hi,
when a RDP sessions hangs there are multiple ways to destroy it. The command line way:
Identify the RDP Session ID. Use quser
C:\>quser /Server:YourWindowsServer
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME
winuser rdp-tcp#6 2 Active 3 24.09.2014 22:26

Hi,
unlike Linux, Windows has no builtin uptime command to see when the operating system starts.
But nevertheless it’s possible. Use the systeminfo command.
c:\> systeminfo | findstr /i time
System Boot Time: 05.06.2014, 21:05:06
Time Zone: (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna
Note: If you have installed a language different then english replace time as filter which applies to your language.

Hi,
some usefull tools like telnet.exe are disabled by default in Windows Vista and later version. You can enable this and other features by command line using dism.
dism called with the get-features parameter lists all available features and its current state.
Note: Featurenames are case sensitive.
C:\>dism /online /Get-Features
.....
Feature Name : TelnetServer
State : Disabled
Feature Name : TelnetClient
State : Enabled
......and the Enable-Feature option install them

This posts descripes how to change the power plan in Windows or a single option in a sheme from the Windows command line.
First of all start a cmd command shell with administrator rights.
To get a list of all available shemes run
c:\> powercfg /L
Existing Power Schemes (* Active)
-----------------------------------
Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (Balanced) *
Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c (High performance)
Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a (Power saver)
The most options to powercfg at the command line must be specified with the GUID. To set the “High performance” plan active determine the sheme GUID and execute
c:\> powercfg /S 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
Query again und you see the other plan is active
c:\> powercfg /L

Let us supose we only want to modify a single option or value. For example, disable the “Allow hybrid sleep” value in sheme “Power Saver” and with AC power active. Then, you first have to query all of the content of a sheme, because we need the GUID as parameter for powercfg. The output is a long list of options, I redirect them in a temporary file, because in the file it is easier to search for the necessary GUIDs.
