I needed this during logon on Windows machines to set the sound volume: [WayBack] NirCmd – Windows command line tool set-soundvolume-25-percent.bat:
:: requires https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
:: 100% = 65535
nircmd setsysvolume 16000
Works on all Windows versions (7-10) I tested so far.

There are way sexier ways to do this, but they were all too convoluted for the time I had to get this to work.
For the future:

From [WayBack] Saving windows command prompt history to a file – Charlie Arehart’s ColdFusion Troubleshooting Blog:
doskey /history
gives you the command history.
Redirecting with >, >> or piping with | allows you to save this to a file or filter the output.
Found via: [WayBack] How I can export the history of my commands in Windows(7) Command Prompt? – Stack Overflow
Note that the command history is not persistent. If you want that, then there are two other shells that support persistent history:
choco install clinkBoth of these found through [WayBack] windows – Is there a global, persistent CMD history? – Server Fault.

Cool tool: [WayBack] Windows Services Dependency Viewer – Home:
Windows Services Dependency Viewer is a simple tool that provides the following information:
- Windows service dependent and antecedent services
- Services grouped by process
- Service details (from Win32_Service WMI class)
- Service process details (from Win32_Process WMI class
This tremendously helps getting an overview of which Windows Services to monitor for running state: if for instance you need monitor SMTP, then you do not need to monitor Event Log as that is a requirement.

Both in %TEMP% and %Windir%\TEMP, a lot of log files named %COMPUTERNAME%-yyymmdd-hhnn.loghaving entries named Click-To-Run General Telemetry appear.
Anyone who knows how to disable this logging?
I think they are related to Office 2016 installed through Office 365.
Disabling the Click-To-Run Monitor scheduled task is not a good solution, as it will also Office disable update notification: [WayBack] MS Office 2016 – Click to run logs | MalwareTips Forums

Netcat to the rescue waiting for a Windows 10 upgrade to finish (which can take hours):
while ! nc -z 172.22.0.67 3389; do echo "sleeping"; sleep 10; done; echo 'The server is up!'
Via: [WayBack] tcp – How can I trigger a script when a certain port becomes available for requests? – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange, quoting from the answer:
ncis Netcat, “the Swiss-army knife for TCP/IP”,-zmeans: do not send any data, just check if the port is open,while ! nc -z …; do sleep 0.1; done: keep checking and sleeping for one tenth of a second until the port opens up, i.e. Netcat returns with a zero (success) status.
