Software Installation happens through "point and click", also does system configuration and infrastructure. Servers are _pets_ and get reused and re-purposed after decommissioning. Command Lines, Terminals and scripting languages are buh and scary; We don't use them. Repetitive tasks are good, because once you know them you can do them faster and better. Windows servers are good, because we want to be like Microsoft ...

    Being like Microsoft? So having a global network of redundant servers?

    About using the gui instead of the terminal: Doesn't Windows Server export the actions as PowerShell script after doing them?
    I guess Microsoft also automates a lot with PowerShell :)

    Anyway we also have some 'pets' at work but we usually get rid of them after some time. Still it always takes longer than planned. One of the last ones will be finally thrown away soon and everyone was surprised that it was still used in production.
    Some are customers' so we cannot throw them away, but they are replaced because nobody wants to pay the electricity.

    Sounds like you're doing everything wrong.
    Congratulations, the only way to go from here is up!
