The given cscript
command is used to execute a VBScript file to configure the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) settings on a Windows system. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what the command does:
-
cscript //nologo
:- This runs the
cscript
command-line scripting interpreter, which is used to execute scripts written in VBScript or JScript. - The
//nologo
option ensures that the Microsoft Script Host banner is not displayed, making the output less verbose.
- This runs the
-
"C:\Windows\System32\winrm.vbs"
:- This specifies the VBScript file
winrm.vbs
located in theC:\Windows\System32\
directory. This VBScript is a standard script that is included with Windows for configuring various WinRM settings.
- This specifies the VBScript file
-
s
:- This is a parameter passed to the
winrm.vbs
script, which is short for "set". It tells the script that you want to modify a WinRM configuration setting.
- This is a parameter passed to the
-
winrm/config/Client
:- This specifies the section of the WinRM configuration to modify. In this case, it's targeting the
Client
configuration settings for WinRM.
- This specifies the section of the WinRM configuration to modify. In this case, it's targeting the
-
@{NetworkDelayms="6000"}
:- This sets the
NetworkDelayms
property to6000
. TheNetworkDelayms
property determines the time (in milliseconds) that WinRM will wait for a network response before throwing an error or timing out. Setting it to6000
means WinRM will wait up to 6 seconds for a response.
- This sets the
Overall Action
This command adjusts the NetworkDelayms
setting of the WinRM client's configuration to 6000 milliseconds (6 seconds). This ensures that the client allows more time for slower networks to respond before timing out. This is useful in environments where connectivity might be intermittent or have higher latency.
