Computer Management (compmgmt)
The Computer Management (compmgmt) utility has three primary sections: System Tools, Storage, and Services and Applications.
System Tools
Task Scheduler
Task Scheduler allows us to create and manage common tasks that our computer will carry out automatically at the times we specify.
A task can run an application, a script, etc., and tasks can be configured to run at any point. A task can run at log in or at log off. Tasks can also be configured to run on a specific schedule, or example, every five minutes.
To create a basic task, clock on Create Basic Task under Actions:
Event Viewer
Event ViewerShared Folders
Shared Folders is where you will see a complete list of shares and folders shared that others can connect to.
In the above image, under Shares, are the default share of Windows, C$, and default remote administration shares created by Windows, such as ADMIN$.
As with any object in Windows, you can right-click on a folder to view its properties, such as Permissions (who can access the shared resource).
Sessions
In the sessions tab you will see a list of users who are currently connected to the shares. In this VM, you won't see anybody connected to the shares. All the folders and/or files that the connected users access will list under Open Files.
Local Users and Groups
lusrmgr.msc
Shows the Users and Groups existing on the underlying system.
Performance
In Performance, you'll see a utility called Performance Monitor (perform).
Performance monitor is used to view performance data either in real-time or from a log file. This utility is useful for troubleshooting performance issues on a computer system, whether local or remote.
Device Manager
The device manager allows us to view and configure the hardware, such as disabling any hardware attached to the computer.
Storage
Storage is Windows Server Backup and Disk Management. Disk management is a system utility in Windows that enables you to perform advanced storage tasks. Some tasks are:
Setting up a new drive
Extend a partition
Shrink a partition
Assign or change a drive letter(ex. E:)
Services and Applications
Services are special types of applications that run in the background. Here you can do more than enable and disable a service such as view the Properties for the service
