Synopsis

PowerShell provides a single, unified administrative command line

from which to control and automate virtually every aspect of a

Windows system. It accepts and executes commands immediately, and

scripts can be written to manage most Windows servers like Exchange,

IIS, and SharePoint. PowerShell 3 adds features designed specifically

for Windows Server 2012 and even third-party platforms from

companies like Citrix and VMware.

Learn Windows PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition is

an innovative tutorial designed for administrators. With just one hour a

day, readers will be automating Windows tasks faster than ever thought

possible. The book starts with the basics—what is PowerShell and

what can be done with it. Then, it moves systematically through the

techniques and features that facilitate efficient and effective results.

 

AUDIENCE

The book is written for administrators, not developers. No prior

PowerShell experience or any scripting or programming experience is

necessary. Experience with Windows administration will be helpful.

 

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

PowerShell functions primarily by accepting typed commands from an

administrator and immediately executing those commands to achieve

administrative results. It is not a programming or scripting language.
