These are the commands and utilities that you find
in a standard Server Core Enterprise Edition setup. Interestingly enough, you??™ll probably find the
vast majority of these commands and utilities in other editions too. Add to these commands and
618 APPENDIX D
LISTING OF BEST PRACTICES
utilities the commands and utilities that come with any applications you install, and it??™s pretty easy
to see that you aren??™t going to memorize them all.
Unfortunately, some administrators don??™t want to admit that they lack a photographic memory
and attempt to execute commands without looking at the help the command provides. No, this help
isn??™t enough to help you learn how to use the command or utility in most cases, but it??™s enough to jog
the memory of an experienced administrator. All you need to do is type the name of the command
followed by the
/?
command line switch and the command will output help information for you.
Although this top-level help is enough to understand simple commands such as
Dir
, it??™s not
enough to understand complex utilities such as WMIC. In this case, you have to drill down to the
level of help you need. You can start by typing
WMIC /?
and pressing Enter to obtain a list of aliases.
