Did they change the name of tracert.exe or is there something different between pathping and the normal traceroute that everyone knows already?
Pathping has been available for quite some time, alongside the majority of what is in the aforementioned list.
Good standard list of commands that most sysadmins SHOULD know. Heck, the majority of vanilla techs should know these as well. What I would really like to see is a "10 Things" list, as well as explanations and uses of Windows Powershell for systems administration.
Forgive me, (and enlighten me on its location... ;-P ) if there is already such an article in existence.

Yes, I have thumbed through a lot of the content offered via technet. I was just suggesting that Tech Republic contribute a piece that would introduce a lot of the readers to the management features of Powershell. We are getting ready to update all of our PC's to Windows 7 and I plan on delving into the finer details of powershell soon to hopefully make more use of it in my day to day tasks.
Maybe one of these will be what you need:

Thanks very much for this article. Years ago I used to do a great deal more from the command line.(I am basically talking about the old days in dos) Yesy I am getting a little longer in the tooth and the memory is not quite as sharp as it used to be! Time for a defrag.
It is great to find an article like this that I can find these commands. I used to pull out my old Amstrad manual when I needed to reference a command.
Kudos to TechRepublic for all your great content!

All these commands are available at least back to XP SP3, if not earlier versions, and several were available in Win 2000. I remember a few from Win 98, Driverquery is handy but don't forget to pipe it to "more" (driverquery | more) otherwise you'll be scrolling back a lot.
msconfig - surprised it wasn't mentioned.
I usually use it disable/enable start up programs, remove my boot screen animation and reduce the time at the boot options. Has a lot more uses but check it out if you haven't.

I tested these commands on Windows XP command line and it works too.
Thanks to make this list and to share it!

I use the command prompt all day. Another tip I can give people is to use CMD+ from http://www.cellartop.com (I hope that link isn't considered spam here, just trying pass on something useful I've found recently).
Sir but these commands very from the interface we use like wise some of them will be friendly with win 7 but they will not work with wista or older versioon so i wanna ask just 1 thing that the command prompt remain same in all version of windows or just vary with interface and one more thing that ..is this command will also work with any linux os or not ??
But I will try.
All the commands may not work on all OS's. Even within Windows.
Off the top of my head.
The system file checker is XP and greater.
File Signature Verification and driver query is Vista or better.
nslookup, NT4 I believe, I'm probably wrong.
Ping, no idea, older than me I think
Pathping, its the first I ever heard of it, but tracert which does the same thing is really old.
ipconfig, no idea, but I miss winipcfg
Repair-bde, Vista or better.
Tasklist, I think Win95 but my last 95 machine died last year so I cant test it.
Taskkill. same, I think win95 again.
And no, these will not work in Linux. Well maybe ping will
