What do you do for DCPromo scenarios when you are on a headless box?
DCPromo was replaced by a powershell command.
And a very complex one at that I have to look it up all the time.
Well, honestly, most things worth doing on a command line are complex. Microsoft does tend to take it to another level.
I find the Linux command line far less complex than the Window GUI. And with tools like apropos, it's ridiculously fast to find things that you don't know about.

Apropos is yet another new thing @scottalanmiller takes for granted I've never heard of before. Looks much more efficient than using find just to look for a program that doesn't happen to be in $PATH!

LOL it was taught for first time computer users when they took "intro to your computer lab" one hour course at college in 1994. Not an admin tool, just a general user tool on UNIX systems.

My Intro to UNIX course never mentioned it I don't think. Learned a lot more in a couple of 1 week training sessions at SGI than 2 years of college... not that anyone is going to be surprised by that.

It was taught to the kids who were learning how to use UNIX for word processing and email back in the day.
