Window System Administration Using Command Line Script

Welcome to How to Cheat at Windows System Administration Using Command-Line Scripts.

This book is designed to help you learn the power of Windows command shell.There

was a time in the history of computers when there was no graphical user interface

(GUI), and every small and big task was performed using the commands and batch

files.With every new version of Windows, Microsoft is trying to ease administrators’

jobs by adding more and more layers of GUI or configuration wizards (dialog boxes).

Although 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.There is certainly a way to avoid these wizards and still accomplish a given

task using the command-line utilities included with the operating system.

Consider a situation where you wish to add a user to the Active Directory using the

Windows wizards or the GUI, assign him/her appropriate permissions to access certain

resources, and restrict access to others. It would take roughly one hour to complete the

job. By using command line the same task could be done in about half the time.That

not only saves you time but also increases your productivity as an administrator.

Although the importance of Windows GUIs should not be underrated, the command-

line tools have their own importance and utility when it comes to increasing

efficiency, boosting effectiveness, and saving time. Command-line tools are both

problem solvers as well as time-savers. Not many administrators explore the usefulness

of these tools.The purpose of this book is to let administrators know how to utilize

these command-line tools to complete everyday administrative jobs, solve recurring

network problems, and improve their efficiency.

This book contains a total of 13 chapters, divided into five different parts.The first

part deals with the basics of Windows command shell, batch files, and scheduled tasks.

The second part of the book deals with basic Windows system administration, which

consists of managing files and hard disks.The third part of the book covers system services,

event logs, performance, and printing services. In the fourth part of the book, we

cover Active Directory services.The fifth part of the book deals with managing networking

services in a Windows Server 2003 environment.
