Looking forward for the release of this magazine. The "windows server" part of the article about tools for managing active directory sounds very interesting. As for me - I prefer gui tools to command line ones. They are much easier to use - you don't need to remember special command line parameters. For example, for managing active directory security and auditing my personal favorite is active administrator from scriptlogic.
