With every new version of Windows, Microsoft is trying to ease the administration jobs by adding more and more layers of graphical user interface (GUI) or configuration wizards (dialog boxes). While these 'wizards' are interactive and make the administrator's job easier, they are not always the most convenient and efficient way to accomplish the everyday administration tasks. These wizards are time consuming and, at times, may seem a bit confusing. The purpose of the book is to teach administrators how to use command-line scripts to complete everyday administration jobs, solve recurring network problems and at the same time improve their efficiency.
*Provides system administrators with hundreds of tips, tricks, and scripts to complete administration tasks more quickly and efficiently.
*No direct competition for a core tool for Windows administrators.
*Builds on success of other books in the series including How to Cheat at Managing Windows Small Business Server 2003 and How to Cheat at Managing Microsoft Operations Manager 2005. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Discover the Windows command lineOct 06, 2006
By Kimon Andreou
Disclaimer: I was the technical editor of the book
"There's more than one way to skin a cat", as the old saying goes.
Everything, and more, that can be done using the graphical, mouse-driven, interfaces provided by Windows, can be accomplished by using the command-line. What's more, these tasks can get scripted and be automated!
This book covers the basics of the command-line and how to go about writing batch files (or scripts).
After these fundamentals are covered, commands in various areas of system, domain and network administration are discussed. From configuring and using the task-scheduler, to performance, to managing disks, to AD administration, to network trouble-shooting, one is ready to tackle any administrative task from the command line.
The book also contains a very handy Appendix for those MS-DOS old-timers amongst us. The Appendix covers the MS-DOS commands no longer supported in Windows XP and those not supported in Windows 2003.
A final note is that this book was written with Windows XP and Windows 2003 in mind.

 Not thoroughNov 29, 2010
By E. McGee
I am disappointed in the book. The first two commands I looked up were not in the book. (Net share and cipher)
Also, the cover says there is a web site for additional support, the web site is not online any longer.
