Or is that more of a stereotype, and there are some (maybe more?) out there using some form of graphical interfaces/web dashboards/etc.?

It’s struck me as interesting how when you look up info about managing servers that they primarily go through command-line interfaces/terminals/etc. It’s made me wonder how much of that’s preference and how much of it’s an absence of graphical interfaces.

    I support a large number of windows servers, and the answer is it largely depends on what i’m doing, like if i’m doing a file restore i find navigating folder structures a pain in the ass from a CLI, so i’ll just use GUI.

    If i’m doing something a bit more complicated like running AD reports, easier to just use powershell.
