IPMIUtil is the Windows Equivalent of IPMITOOLS.
It may be downloaded from Sourceforge: http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/
After installing the appropriate Windows Binary, here is the basic syntax of ipmiutil after you install the binary
c:\Users\Support>ipmiutil

events decode IPMI events and display them
firewall show/set firmware firewall functions
fru show decoded FRU inventory data, write asset tag
fwum OEM firmware update manager extensions
getevt get IPMI events and display them, event daemon
getevent get IPMI events and display them, event daemon
health check and show the basic health of the IPMI BMC
hpm HPM firmware update manager extensions
lan show/set IPMI LAN parameters, users, PEF rules
picmg show/set picmg extended functions
power issue IPMI reset or power control to the system
reset issue IPMI reset or power control to the system
sel show/clear firmware System Event Log records
sensor show Sensor Data Records, readings, thresholds
serial show/set IPMI Serial & Terminal Mode parameters
sol start/stop an SOL console session
smcoem SuperMicro OEM functions
sunoem Sun OEM functions
delloem Dell OEM functions
tsol Tyan SOL console start/stop session
user list or modify IPMI LAN users
wdt show/set/reset the watchdog timer
common IPMI LAN options:
-N node Nodename or IP address of target system
-U user Username for remote node
-P/-R pswd Remote Password
-E use password from Environment IPMI_PASSWORD
-F force driver type (e.g. imb, lan2)
-J 0 use lanplus cipher suite 0: 0 thru 14, 3=default
-T 1 use auth Type: 1=MD2, 2=MD5(default), 4=Pswd
-V 2 use priVilege level: 2=user(default), 4=admin
-Y prompt for remote password
-Z set slave address of local MC
For help on each command (e.g. 'sel'), enter:
ipmiutil sel -?
ipmiutil , usage or help requestedMany of the basic commands DO work.

Example:
Even when following the usage and specifying a ~? for help you do not SEE A login prompt. The terminal remains black and does not show anything.
Even if you attempt to TYPE on the screen, you will see text but it will then disconnect.
The PROBLEM is that the Windows Command Prompt does not correctly render the Terminal Output.
The SOLUTION is to use a Linux and/or MAC system and ipmitool.
