Description

With a foreword from PowerShell creator Jeffrey Snover, this heavily updated edition is designed to help you learn how to use PowerShell 7.1 effectively and manage the core roles, features, and services of Windows Server in an enterprise setting. All scripts are compatible with both Window Server 2022 and 2019. This latest edition equips you with over 100 recipes you'll need in day-to-day work, covering a wide range of fundamental and more advanced use cases. We look at how to install and configure PowerShell 7.1, along with useful new features and optimizations, and how the PowerShell compatibility solution bridges the gap to older versions of PowerShell. Topics include using PowerShell to manage networking and DHCP in Windows Server, objects in Active Directory, Hyper-V, and Azure. Debugging is crucial, so the book shows you how to use some powerful tools to diagnose and resolve issues with Windows Server.

Who is this book for?

This book is for systems administrators, software architects, developers, or engineers working with Windows Server seeking to automate tasks more effectively with PowerShell 7.1. Basic knowledge of PowerShell is expected.

This is the most practical and comprehensive book I’ve ever read about Powershell. No obscure filler, it’s all about best practices on how to accomplish meaningful work, learning Powershell and being productive!For someone ready to learn more than the basics – this book has every topic I’m currently interested in:• Powershell 7• CLI efficiency (PSReadline)• How to navigate .Net, C# and WMI libraries• Powershell Security• Server AD automation and managementThe organization of this book is so concisely repetitive, and so well thought out - it’s on another level. It’s apparent the author has given a great deal of thought about the organization of this book, provided as the best way to understand and apply each lesson. Greatly appreciated 😉As a Powershell enthusiast, I am always looking to get the most out of my reading investments. This book delivers on all fronts:• Easily digestible.• Meticulously organized.• Meaningful and relevant topics.• Multiple technologies taught at the same time.• Practical knowledge, theory taught utilizing multiple technologies at the same time.Its everything I’d want to see from a System Engineering perspective. Fills in gaps with theory on basic topics and also includes those advanced to take your Powershell to the next level.

This book has been a great resource for me to catch up with major developments in PowerShell. The explanations go beyond just describing a feature - each one has clear discussion, example and detailed walk through. Thomas also points out the important outputs which makes it easy to see if you are either skimming a particular topic or reading to understand something in detail.
