Here’s how you can find out when your domain password will expire.
net user %USERNAME% /domain
It figures this out for the current logon domain (so it doesn’t work cross-domain) but it is a great help, especially when filtering out just the password information:
net user %USERNAME% /domain | findstr "Password"
This can be done in a more complex way with dsquery or adinfo that are tools to query

All versions prior to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 seem vulnerable.
So add $MFT to this list:
The following device names have been known to render a system unstable: CON, NUL, AUX, PRN, CLOCK$, COMx, LPT1, and CONFIG$.
In short, Steven Sheldon created a rust package named nul which broke the complete package manager on Windows:
nul is not a valid name in windows 10, so cargo fails to update the registry, and then aborts whatever it was doing (building, searching, ect.).
I think this project should be re-published to crates.io under a new name, something like null-strings perhaps?

In addition to the two methods mentioned at Two Quick Methods for Finding Shared Folders in Windows (use net share or compmgmt.msc) I like this one:
It directly gets you to the “Shared Folders” inside compmgmt.msc
