Appendix A. Next Steps

The goal of this book has been to get you started with PowerShell. To this end, we have looked at several broad topics, such as:

  • Navigating PowerShell with Get-Command, Get-Help, and Get-Member
  • Using the Pipeline to combine the commands
  • Packaging code in scripts, functions, and modules
  • Interacting with files and WMI
  • Administering IIS

These skills will take you far in PowerShell, but this is just the beginning of what you can do. Here, I have collected some suggested "next steps" that you will find useful as skills to add to your PowerShell repertoire:

  • Explore advanced functions, such as:
    • Using common parameters
    • Pipeline the input
    • Parameter validation
  • PowerShell Remoting
  • PowerShell Workflows
  • Desired State Configuration
  • Explore miscellaneous PowerShell topics, including the following:
    • Working with .NET and COM objects
    • Working with SQL Server data
    • Building a GUI
  • Administering Microsoft systems such as:
    • Exchange
