Certainly, you??™ll need to use the command line long enough to enable the Remote Desktop (see the
???Configuring the Server for Initial Use??? section of Chapter 1 for details).
Working at the command line doesn??™t mean that you have to perform tasks manually or memorize
arcane syntax. It??™s true that you had to do that in the past to an extent, but even in the past,
people created batch files so all they needed to remember was the batch file name and not the
difficult series of command line switches for executing a command. Windows makes working at
the command line a lot easier. You can even automate tasks so that you don??™t work at the command
line as often; you can tell Windows to perform the mundane tasks for you. (Any unique task still
requires you to enter individual commands at the command line.) Consequently, working at the
command line could mean putting a batch file together and then telling Windows to execute it for
you. Working at the command line need not be time consuming or difficult.
Something to consider about the command line is that it contains a lot more than you might
think. Many savvy administrators and power users know that Windows provides a number of
command line utilities.
