5. As part of your previous lab assignments, you’ve been encouraged to use the Windows Server 2012 Powershell to administer Windows Server 2012. When it comes to creating and managing GPOs, my tool of choice is Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). While Powershell is very powerful and may be more efficient if you know the command syntax, I’ve come to appreciate the simplicity of a good Graphical User Interface like GPMC. What are your thoughts on GPMC vs Powershell for GPO creation and management?
