    PSExec is an awesome tool.

    There was also a way to bring up a command prompt in XP under SYSTEM context by using the at.exe command.

    at [time] /interactive cmd.exe -> Wait up to the time you set and volia. You have a command prompt under system context. Has come in handy for testing scripts and file permissions etc that require SYSTEM.

    I started using this at work. Got tired of remoting in (RDC) just to do a "netdom" or some other command.

    I might be a bit thick here .. but can't you remove phantom adapters also with
    set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
    devmgmt.msc
    

    Then display hidden devices ?

    That will remove devices that are no longer connected, but still have drivers installed on the system. If I understand the blog post correctly, these were showing up as active in Device Manager. He would uninstall them through Device Manager, but they would come back as active when rebooted.
