However, few people realize just how many utilities there are. Would you
believe that this book discusses more than 300 command line utilities of various types for all Windows
users? In fact, after performing the research for this book, I concluded that many of the most interesting
Windows features aren??™t in the graphical user interface (GUI); they??™re at the command line,
so you??™re actually getting the best part of Windows in Server Core. By the time you finish this book,
you??™ll have gained an understanding of just how capable Windows is at the command line.
In this chapter, you??™ll learn how to do the following:
?
Describe when to use the command line and the command line alternatives
?
Configure the command window so that you can use it effectively
?
Define the difference between internal and external commands
?
Use the Remote Desktop Connection application to connect to the server
22 CHAPTER 2

Some people are of the opinion that the command line works one way. You type in a command and
hope that you got all of the information right and received the correct result, which you then have
to interpret.
