This book changed the way that I work. It is a nearly-exhaustive collection of commands that run from a cmd.exe shell, including their syntax and possible applications. I use the information in this book, along with the trusty PSTools suite, to perform the systems aministration portions of my job more effectively, and often, the combination of psexec and shutdown has saved our office a trip to our colocation facility to reboot a hung server.
