 Lab 4 / Using Management Interfaces

Step 1 : If necessary , start your computer and sign in.

Step 2 : Right-click the Start button or press START+X.

This opens the Quick Access menu. This contains shortcuts to most of
The tools required by “power users.”
Step 3 : From the Quick Access menu, select System.
This settings page provides information about the
PC status and the version of Windows currently installed.

Step 4 : Take some time to browse other pages in the Settings app.

Step 5 : Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Task Manager. Alternatively, use the Quick Access
menu or right-click the taskbar. If necessary, click More details at the bottom of the window to
show the tabs.
Step 6 : On the Processes tab, right-click Settings and select End Task.

Step 7 : Start Paint and draw a picture in the window. Do not save the file.
Step 8 : In Task Manager, right-click Paint and select End Task.
The Paint window closes without prompting you to save the
Image you created.

Step 9 : Note the division of processes into apps and background processes. The background
processes run without a window, though some may be configurable via notification area icons.
Click each of the CPU, MEMORY, DISK, AND NETWORK headings in turn to sort
processes by how much of the computer’s resources each is consuming.

Step 10 : Close Task Manager.

Step 11 : Press START+X and select Computer Management. Computer Management is the
default management console. Management consoles can be configured with snap-ins to control
most Of the “power” configuration options in Windows.
Step 12 : Select each of the following snap-ins to view them:
● Task Scheduler-expand the node to view items in the task scheduler library. You can
see that Windows runs many processes automatically.

● Disk Management-this shows you a summary of the disks attached to the computer
and the drives (partitions and file system) configured on them.
 ● Services-(expand Services and Applications)-the shortcut menu for each service
allows you to stop and start it or configure its properties.

Step 13 : Close Computer Management.

Step 14 : Press the START key and type control panel. Open the Control Panel icon that
appears in the search results. With the latest feature update, there are relatively few configuration
options left in Control Panel.

Step 15 : Optionally, browse some of the applets then close the Control Panel window.
Step 16 : Right-click Start and select Windows PowerShell. Windows PowerShell is an
example of a Command Line Interface (CLI).

Step 17 : Type the following command then execute it by pressing ENTER.

Get-NetIPConfiguration
Step 18 : Type the following command then execute it by pressing Enter.
Ipconfig This is an older command that displays similar information. PowerShell can run both
Windows command prompt commands and native commandlets.

Step 19 : Press the START key and type cmd. Open the Command Prompt icon that appears in
the search results.
Step 20 : Type the following command then execute it by pressing ENTER.
Ipconfig
Note that this executes in the same way as in the PowerShell CLI.

Step 21 : Type the following command then execute it by pressing ENTER.

Get-NetIPConfiguration
This produces an error message. The command prompt environment cannot understand (parse)
PowerShell commandlets. Then using a CLI, you need to understand which commands it can run
as then are not all the same.

Step 22 : Close any open windows.
