Use Batch Files, Scripts, and Written Procedures
Documentation of all sorts will save you time and effort. A single command or utility probably
won??™t do everything you want. Consequently, you need some method of documenting the command
or utility sequence that helps you accomplish useful work on your server. Batch files, scripts,
and written procedures all provide useful ways to record sequences that you??™ll use more than once.

out what you did the next time you need to perform the task. Add copious comments to batch

an emphasis on what something does, why you did it that way, and how to work with it. Otherwise,
the information you save is useless. Writing things down has a number of additional benefits
that you should consider as part of the payback for the work you??™ll perform.

reduces the time required to do it.
