Keep in mind that you have multiple methods for performing remote access tasks at the
command line. Many people immediately think about using Terminal Server for remote
tasks, but many utilities provide direct machine access through command line arguments.
Use the direct access method when you only require the services of a single utility. Remember
that newer versions of Windows also include Remote Desktop, but that you must make
587
registry changes to systems in some cases to use this technique. You can also rely on older
technologies to perform remote tasks, such as Telnet. In short, don??™t limit yourself to one
technique for remote access; use the technique that works best for a particular scenario.

Killing tasks using utilities such as TaskKill might seem like a good idea when the system
isn??™t responding as anticipated. However, a seemingly frozen application may simply be
performing a task in the background, so it??™s important to wait before you kill the task. Always
assume that killing a task will result in data loss of some kind. In addition, killing the task
might not revive the system; you could still end up having to reboot the system to restore its
responsiveness.
