Standard command-line utilities are located in a folder defined by the Windows environment variable `%plesk_cli%`. By default, it is `C:\Program`` ``Files`` ``(x86)\Plesk\bin`. Extended command-line utilities are located in a folder defined by the Windows environment variable `%plesk_bin%`. By default, it is `C:\Program`` ``Files`` ``(x86)\Plesk\admin\bin`. To run command line utilities: 1. Log in to the Plesk server as Administrator or another user with administrator’s privileges. 2. Use one of the following options to run a utility: - To run an utility from any directory, use the following command line format:

%plesk_cli%\<utility name> [commands] [options]

or

%plesk_bin%\<utility name> [commands] [options]

<utility name> [commands] [options]

or

cd %plesk_bin%
<utility name> [commands] [options]
