   Trying to help a Windows using friend configure a BSD based NAS box. I'm realizing how much I take for granted without thinking about it.

     Like the fact that case matters to the shell. And you have to type commands EXACTLY as written in the tutorial.

     I'm amazed how many talented Windows admins don't do scripting. Powershell is really not that bad, but people don't use it much.

     I was thinking more of the Windows admin attitude that doesn't even consider scripting as an option. They've already got a decent language

     RIght. Because we're trained to automate the job with code rather than memorize a series of button clicks.

     Powershell is a little more verbose than I like, but it's pretty well done and powerful. An expert could probably do a lot with it.

     The job I'm looking at now involves a bit of Windows server work, but I don't know if scripting will help. We'll see.
