Microsoft Windows Server Command Line Administration : Covering ver 2012 2016 2019

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 EfficientlyHave 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.
