PowerShell is as powerful as it sounds. If you're looking to automate tasks with PowerShell in an environment where you manager windows servers, this is a great book. It goes over all the necessary management you need to do for server administration, using PowerShell to automate it. Not only is the book thorough and detailed, but it simplifies the concepts well enough any beginner who isn't as familiar to learn from it. It was simple for me to read, as a beginner in automating windows server tasks. This book is a great tool to keep in my arsenal whenever I'll need to reference. Anyone can pick this up and learn something useful about PowerShell!

My favorite part about the book is its organization. The book is organized into chapters, focusing on specific areas of Windows Server administration, such as Active Directory, Group Policy, and Hyper-V. This is really helpful for me as I'm starting a new IAM Analyst role and I'll be able to put this book to use on the job. With that being said, the book structure makes it easy for readers to find the information they need and to apply the techniques they learn to their own environments.I also love the practical focus because I'm a hands-on learner. The author provides numerous examples of PowerShell scripts and commands that can be used to automate common administrative tasks on Windows servers. Each example is explained in detail, with step-by-step instructions and screenshots to help readers understand how the script works.I definitely recommend this book to those working with PowerShell in any capacity.
