commandline administration

Hello everyone: While the topics of commandlines and administration was still on everyone's mind, I wanted to throw a question out there. For those who primarily use the commandline for administration, be it Bash, Powershell, whatever, if you could wave a magic wand and have anything you wanted in a commandline interface, what would it be? In otherwords, what could someone do to make your commandline experience even better than it is today? For those of you who are primarily using the GUI for administration, what would make you shift more to the CLI? Thanks.

Hi, This is slightly oftopic, but is somebody using Oracle BI, specialy BI composer? Oracle says about accessibility of this software, but I have some questions, because I just start playing with it. If somebody is using BI, please contact me by e-mail: michal(a)dziwisz.net. Best regards, -- Michał Dziwisz <michal(a)dziwisz.net>

Administration using powershell.

On the topic of using PowerShell as a full alternative to various inefficient UI's, I'd be really interested in hearing from someone who uses PowerShell exclusively for administering any system. Especially Active Directory, DFS, IIS, Office365, Azure VPN, Azure VM's, VMware VM's, SCCM and AzureSQL PAS. If there are people using PowerShell exclusively for administration of any of these applications, it would be fantastic to colaberate on building a repository of helpful scripts. Or, if there's one already out there, contributing to it. Thanks

Accessibility of Azure web UI
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 06 Dec '16

This Azure interface drives me crazy. It seems to randomly change. I certainly didn't have these problems about six weeks ago because I successfully created a test VPN without any problems. Today, I had to do it again but what should have been a 5 minute job took 40 minutes because both the Azure web UI and Jaws 18 were fighting with each other. When there's a new notification, Jaws starts to stutter.nonononononononononononononononononononononononononononontifications is frequently spoken. This is the start of what is less than an acceptable situation. A few of the problems I found today are: 1. the link to add subnets and add Subnet gateway is not properly labelled. 2. It is no longer possible to select the location for your Azure resource. a grid might or might not appear but pressing space doesn't add the contents to the edit box. 3. Sometimes Jaws gets stuck. During this time when pressing shift and E, instead of looking for the last edit field it's telling me I'm not in a table. 4. The filter drop downs are no longer bringing out the next blade to the right of the screen. There used to be a select or filter button but I don't know where this has gone. Sometimes pressing down and space will bring up the filter blade but not all the time. I'm using IE11 on windows 10 X64 with Jaws18. All Jaws updates and Windows updates are applied. Can someone make my experience known to the Azure UI developers please? This needs to be fixed. Thanks Darragh
