Replacement of the Microsoft SaRA command-line utility in Windows

Migrate away from the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant utility (SaRA). This command-line utility is deprecated to help secure and harden your environment. The Get Help command-line tool has similar capabilities and is recommended as a replacement for the SaRA utility. You’ll need to download it and use GetHelpCmd.exe to run your scenarios.    When will this happen:  March 10, 2026: Microsoft has officially removed the SaRA utility from all in-support versions of Windows.  The Get Help command-line tool has been available for some time now.    How this will affect your organization:  The infrastructure powering GetHelpCmdLine includes improved security. The core functionality of GetHelpCmdLine and SaraCmdLine remains the same. All the scenarios supported in SaRACmdLine tool are supported as-is in GetHelpCmdLine. All SaRA scripts are migrated to GetHelpCmdLine. These scripts no longer work in the SaRACmdLine environment.     What you need to do to prepare:  As your next steps,  Download the Get Help command-line tool.  Use GetHelpCmd.exe to run your scenarios.    Additional information:  Read the announcement in Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) command-line utility removal from Windows.  Command line version of Get Help.  Download the Get Help command-line tool.
