I always figured the lack of functionality in the GUI was due to the ground-up rewrite they had to do on a lot of it. Not really an excuse, just maybe the reason why.

It's still a step backwards to give users LESS functionality with a GUI than they had with prior versions. I've seen a lot of complaints about that out on the intertubes, and I tend to agree. -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

Both the CLI and the GUI create a RunSpace which parses and executes the commands. The CLI does more than just the RunSpace - it handles the ConsoleHost and handles all the UI stuff which isn't needed for the programmatic interfaces. That's why they were split. ________________________________________ From: Campbell, Rob [rob_campb...@centraltechnology.net] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 11:20 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Finally 2010 You're still using the CLI when you use the GUI. All the GUI is doing is helping you construct and invoke the commands. It's just a matter of adding more stuff to the GUI to construct and invoke more of the commands. -----Original Message----- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 7:36 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Finally 2010 So, will Microsoft be moving some of the things back into the GUI that they had pulled out in 2007? That decrease in functionality never made sense to me. I'm all for a strong CLI, but from a usability standpoint it seems to make more sense to let the user choose whether they want to use a GUI or a CLI for certain functions, rather than to force them to use the CLI.
