PowerShell for sysadmins
Author (s): Bertram A.
PowerShell is both a scripting language and a command shell that allows you to manage your system and automate almost any task. In PowerShell for Sysadmins, Microsoft MVP owner Adam Bertram aka “the Automator” shows you how to use PowerShell so that the reader finally has time for toys, yoga and cats.
You will learn to:
– Combine commands, control the flow of execution, handle errors, write scripts, run them remotely and test them using the Pester testing framework.
– Analyze structured data such as XML and JSON, work with popular services (such as Active Directory, Azure and Amazon Web Services), create server monitoring systems.
– Create and design PowerShell modules.
– Use PowerShell for an easy, fully automated installation of Windows.
– Create an Active Directory forest with just a Hyper-V host and a few ISO files.
– Build countless web and SQL servers with just a few lines of code!
Real-life examples help bridge the gap between theory and work in a real system, and the author’s light humor makes reading easier.
Stop relying on expensive software and vague advice from the web!
