Which of the following statements about the Windows net command is true? Select all that apply.

Answer

net start can be used to display or start running Windows services.

Explanation

### Why this is right The reference identifies `net start` as a service-management command, `net user` as a way to add a local account with suitable arguments, and `net use` as a way to map or manage network connections. It also states that many `net` subcommands require administrative rights, so the final statement is false. ### The concept The Windows `net` utility is a collection of subcommands, not one operation with a single purpose. Depending on the subcommand, it can manage services, local users and groups, shared folders, and network connections. Administrative rights are needed for many changes because they affect system resources or other users. A command that can be issued from a prompt may still fail if the account lacks the required permissions. Use account and group-management commands only in authorized environments, and avoid assigning privileges beyond those needed. ### The other options - **Every `net` subcommand can be run without administrative privileges.**: The reference says many subcommands require Administrator privileges, so this absolute claim is incorrect. ### Terms - **Service**: A background program that provides a Windows system or network function. - **Local user**: An account managed on the individual Windows computer. - **Network share**: A folder or resource made available to other computers over a network. - **Administrative privileges**: Permissions that allow changes to protected system settings and resources. - **Subcommand**: A specific operation selected within a larger command-line utility. ### Remember `net` contains several management operations, and the required permissions depend on the operation.
