ssh keys would solve so much trouble with scripting and credentials...
Also sudo...
Window Key, type "optional features" and install the OpenSSH client.
We're a windows shop 100%. So it's non trivial controlling other machines from a command line.
I miss it so much.
Edit: Cmder - http://cmder.net/
However, I have changed the following:
* Set the default font to Droid Sans Mono (Slashed) [1]
* Set the scroll back to 9000 lines, and the default width/height to 132x50.
* Used ANSI to colour code the prompt.
* created a small tool called su.exe that re-launches cmd.exe as Administrator (it can't be done inline unfortunately)
And then I use openSSH (the Windows 10 bundled version) to remote to linux boxes.
It's all fine. I really don't understand the hate.

[1] my own edited copy of Droid Sans Mono where the Zero has a 'slash' added.
CMD is another horribly-designed feeble tool compatible with COMMAND.COM, acceptable back in the eighties. Yes, its fine for running a program or two here and there if you've got low expectations. You can get work done on 640x480 too, but we don't suffer that today. ;-)
I recommend this series of posts that will explain how poor the situation has been on Windows, and how it is improving:
