Windows Command Line Administration Instant Reference

While the GUI programs are good and provide a significant level of usability, they’re a bit heavy and inefficient. The command line provides an essential part of the admin experience if the admin wants to go home at night or spend weekends somewhere other than work. By using command-line commands with much less effort, it can deliver faster results. In addition, the command line can work automatically, which makes you not need to do some tasks manually at all. You can let the computer do them while you can sip your cup of coffee and have a conversation with your friend. So, the Windows Command Line Administration Instant Reference book provides you with a reference of common command-line commands and provides examples of their application to help you avoid possible errors. In short, if you want to take the time to do something other than add users to the server, you need this book.
