Managing remote access from the command line

In addition to using the Routing and Remote Access snap-in, you can use command-line utilities to manage and troubleshoot remote access for users, computers, or services. For example, you can use Tracert to check the path to a remote access client and record the results. Used for diagnostic purposes only, Ping verifies IP-level connectivity to another TCP/IP computer. You can use Netsh overview to perform more advanced management tasks, such as server configuration and scripting.
