Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, path names, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Create a subfolder called 1.3.1-Delete inactive Computer Accounts." A block of code is set as follows:

 $POSTBody = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<entry xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/
08/dataservices"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/
08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<content type="application/xml">
<m:properties>
<d:RunbookId type="Edm.Guid">{$($RunbookID)}</d:RunbookId>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

 $POSTBody = @"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<entry xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/
08/dataservices"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/
08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<content type="application/xml">
<m:properties>
<d:RunbookId type="Edm.Guid">{$($RunbookID)}</d:RunbookId>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

 $RetreivedGUID = GetSCOProperty $XML 
$RunbookInputProperty "In" "Id"

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Right click on Runbook Designers, and select Deploy new Runbook Designer"
