I think PS will go a long way toward replacing the chaotic collection of command line programs that have their own special syntax with a common management platform.
If you're managing Unix boxes too, I'd think you'd be using PS already. It's got some aliases already in place for some of the common Unix commands like ls, and it's agnostic about which way the slashes go. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 11:09 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Finally 2010 GUI, definitely. There's already too much CLI out there with their own special syntax. I don't care how much training you have, if you're an administrator that wears a lot of hats it's difficult to keep them straight. Especially if you have network administration thrown in with several flavors of Unix. Granted, I have seen the need for CLI for some tasks not covered in the GUI, but items should not be taken away from the GUI. -----Original Message----- From: HELP_PC [mailto:g...@enter.it] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 10:58 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: R: Finally 2010 In special mode if you have to manage a small business and they cannot afford an Exchange administrator .

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.
