You know already how you want to do it ("no commandline"), but haven't even the slightest idea what you want to do: "server names and stuff" is hardly a description anybody could use to actually do some work and hope to achieve what your goal is.

Instead of being open about your prospective tools and secretive about defining your goals you might want to try it the other way round: be precise about your goals, stating exactly what you want to change, in which ways you want to change it and what your environment looks like. Worry about which tools to use to achieve this precisely defined set of desired results only then: when it is "precisely defined".

To answer your question in the style it was posed i'd say: use PowerPoint! True, it might not allow you to actually do the work, but you can use it to put together a presentation which looks good and might convince management to hire someone to actually do the work for you.

I hope this helps.
