What is a batch file
Script that is ran on DOS in sequential order
.bat is used to tell Windows that it’s an executable.
If we create a script that displays the directory on it’s own, what will happen and how do we fix it?
Create this file
It will display for just a moment before closing the command line. To workaround this you can use a command like:
timeout 5
to keep that from happening for 5 seconds.
Create a “Hello, World!” popup script this should go out to all users on the server
echo “Hello, World!”
timeout 5
or
msg * “Hello World”
- <- go to all users
Start calculator, file explorer, paint, and task manager for a script
