windows CMD in browser

Basically want something that I can use in demos to access a CMD instance of a remote machine in a browser, i.e. a webserver providing some windows CMD like interface over the web.

Security is not really important (would actually use it with no security configured as it's for temporary usage on a local LAN and quick easy access is most important aspect).

Basically something like one of the following, but for Windows:

Note: It looks like you can do this for powershell (link), but still can't seem to find one for a plain Windows cmd interface.

what wrong with the powershell option? – Keltari – 2015-08-19T01:08:39.900

nothing's really wrong with it other than my familiarity with it. I don't really use powershell and neither does anyone else at my workplace that might also want to use it for a demo in the board room. I'll probably end up using powershell though if I can't find something. – prayingpantis – 2015-08-19T13:01:08.553

1You can turn a PowerShell console to run CMD by typing cmd. – paradroid – 2015-08-19T16:21:33.923

The only thing I can think of is an HTML5 RDP server, like Thinfinity.

The Workstation version offers 1 free seat and the trial for the server version has a 30-day free evaluation period.

This seems to work, but I might as well then go with a normal windows RDP session. Using their live demo it also had some slowness / unresponsiveness when using CMD...was wondering if it's overhead added by RDP for something that just sends text to and fro, although might just be my connection causing the lag. – prayingpantis – 2015-08-19T12:46:40.013

logmein pro has a command prompt available from the web interface. https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/webhelp/EN/Pro/LogMeIn/t_host_compman_command.html I'm not sure where it fits in their current pricing structure. I was never too impressed with their product though, it didn't resize well, for example.
