Anyone who has seen me at a console will know that if possible i like to use the keyboard.  I don’t have any real dislike of mice I just find it quicker to hit the windows key and R then type in dsa.msc to open ADUC or whatever than to dig through menus.  As a result I have a number of them memorised but there are some which i never remember so I have to dig through the menus to find them.

So while catching up on some RSS feeds today on the flight home from Perth today I found a great article from the guys at Activedir.org that lists all the consoles and their corresponding msc files. So in what can only be described as blatant plagiarism is known as repurposing content here is the list.
