It may be, but why get a 3rd party GUI for things that could have, did have and ought to have a GUI object to begin with. I find it ironic that Microsoft started with DOS, then pushed Windows version after version (including BOB) and now they decide that GUI doesn't work anymore and we need to return to CLI. Where'd I put those 6.22 disks...?

I'm the guy in charge of Exchange for our organization, but it's just one thing among many for which I'm responsible for. EMS is powerful, to be sure--but there's no way I have time to learn all of the commands. Stuff that I used to be able to easily do via GUI I now have to do from the shell, and I seem to do some of those things just rarely enough so that I forget the commands. Big example... Looking at mailbox sizes. With Ex2003, I could very easily do this via GUI. I could quickly sort my users by item count or mailbox size. Now I have to do this from EMS, which is just not at quick. I'm also not thrilled that I can no longer create a mailbox via ADUC. I used to jump to ADUC, copy an existing user to create a new account, and in just a couple of clicks have a new user's account and mailbox created. Now I have to split this task between ADUC and EMC. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 12:09 PM 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.
