Hi there, In supplement to Mark's comments, not only are we pusing a new admin in the form of cockpit, we also want to improve the CLI to be a first glass admin interface. We have a suite of new tools coming (dsctl, dsconf and dsidm) that will absorb all the existing perl, and make many routine tasks for the CLI significantly easier to achieve. I hope that we can make the CLI the only point of contact for you in the future, and would love to hear your feedback on it if you try it out.
