I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

I've been working with NT since 3.5, and yes some of these "desktop-platform" annoyances should not be happening on a server. However, most of these go away using custom or unattended installs - I have never set a server up without a custom tweak script of some sort.(e.g. Explorer Views, Removing Components like Games and Mediaplayer...) At least they *finally* put Tab-completion as the default.
CLI - I use it all the time (I never go without the Reskit & Support tools)... the real annoyance is that these are not part of the standard server build. (however I integrate these in all my custom builds anyway).
