Most every command that can be done with a gui can be done via command line, mostly powershell; which you can use remotely. In fact I would be hard pressed to find any administration routine that cannot be done through command line and is not documented.

The thing that I could use most is a way to automate setting up a reverse-proxy on a given path. I've figured out the steps to make it happen in the GUI. But that is tedious and error prone.

Where would you suggest I go to find the best way to handle this?
