On The Job Training Series: Windows PowerShell

CBT Nuggets On The Job Training Series: Windows PowerShell

Published at Friday 5 September 2008 @ 3:00 am by hkasem

Welcome to the center of the Microsoft universe: Windows PowerShell.
Are you tired of redundant tasks? Tired of needing to look stuff up every time you administer a new app? Then you’re in luck. Windows PowerShell is the all-in-one engine for administering Windows servers and applications.

Windows PowerShell gives you one consistent command structure for controlling all your apps and servers. And it works whether you’re using GUI, command line interface (CLI) or scripting. Plus it fits perfectly with Microsoft applications, like Exchange 2007 and Systems Center Operations Manager.

PowerShell Features
Unlike VB Script, PowerShell is more than just a scripting language. It’s also a command shield. So when you type commands, you get immediate results. In this training series Don shows you how to:

Install PowerShell on XP, Windows 2003 or Vista

Use PowerShell’s consistent syntax and utilities

Customize PowerShell to meet your needs

Use PowerShell’s Admin-focused scripting language

Work effectively with 130 standard command-line tools

Access PowerShell’s built-in capabilities and object-orientation (without having to become a .NET Framework programmer)
Automation Made Easy
Don shows you how to automate Windows with PowerShell — including tasks such as gathering remote management information from servers and desktops. In no time you’ll be automating many of your key administrative tasks — like using a single command-line to import a hundred users from a CSV file into Active Directory.

In fact, PowerShell is far more automation-friendly than DOS, EXE and the older, GUI-dependent command structure in Active Directory (although PowerShell works great in GUI, if GUI’s what you prefer).

With PowerShell you’ll be spending far less time on routine tasks and a lot more time on special projects — the fun stuff that drew you to network administration in the first place.
