Whenever I set up a new SQL server, there are a number of tasks that have to be done before it's ready for service, and the process can become really tedious if I have to step through the wizards in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to get them done. The key thing is that using the graphical interface, while good for newcomers, can easily lead to inconsistent configurations, because it's easy to click the wrong checkbox or make inadvertent changes to your standard settings when stepping through the pages of the wizard.
