GUI applications are nice and they do provide significant levels of hand holding, they’re cumbersome and inefficient. The command line is an essential part of the administrator experience—at least, if the administrator wants to go home at night and spend weekends somewhere other than work. Using the command line can often provide faster results with far less effort. In addition, the command line lends itself to easy automation, so you might not need to manually perform some tasks at all; you can let the computer do them while you have a cup of coffee and gab with a friend in the next cubicle. However, no one can memorize every command, or even a significant subset of them, so Microsoft Windows Server Command-Line Administration provides you with a quick reference for the common commands and provides examples of their use to help you avoid potential errors. In short, if you want to spend time doing something other than adding users to the server, you need this book! Work Faster and More Efficiently
Have you looked at the Administrative Tools folder of the Control Panel lately? It typically contains fourteen or more links to consoles that you use to administer Windows using a GUI. Finding the right console isn’t always straightforward. For example, most people would be tempted to look for hardware settings in System Configuration, but they really appear in Computer Management. Some of the consoles don’t even appear in the Administrative Tools folder.
