Command Line Interfaces are making a huge comeback in the Windows world. Over the last ten years Microsoft has been pushing the command line as the method for managing all of their server applications primarily through PowerShell. On the development front, you have seen Microsoft ship command line tools for Azure and also .Net Core. All of these tools have been following the trend in the broader developer and operations communities. In DNN 9.2, we introduced DNN Prompt: a command line tool built right into DNN. DNN Prompt can greatly speed up your administrative tasks. You can eliminate the tedium of trying to find which screen contains a specific setting you need to update. Anything that you can do through the user interface can be potentially done with DNN Prompt, and often done much faster. In this session, I'll show you how to leverage DNN Prompt in your own DNN installations and how to create your own custom commands. You'll leave this session understanding why the command line is an important tool for administrators and developers alike.
