Windows 10 Server RUN Shortcut Commands for Admin Tools

Windows 10 Server RUN Shortcut Commands for Admin Tools. In the last post, I provided CPL file details or canonical names for control panel applets and more information about SCCM and Windows Command Line Shortcut to Launch Control Panel Tools Applets via CPL files

After that post, I received a request to create documentation for “.MSC” files, shortcuts, or canonical names for Administrative tools components. Here is a list of the components I can install on Windows 10 and Server 2012 R2 machines.

Windows 10 Server offers various Run shortcut commands to access administrative tools quickly. These commands allow administrators to efficiently open and manage different system utilities without navigating multiple menus.

Using these shortcuts, tasks like managing group policies, monitoring system performance, and configuring server settings become more streamlined, making system administration more convenient and efficient.

  1. If you are going to post this sort of information, please get it right. For instance, gpedit opens the local machine group policy not “users”.
