Don't pass this book up, seriously! From soup to nuts, Thomas gives you the recipes to excel in the world of Powershell and automation. If you're not automating your server tasks on ANY version of Windows server, you're at least 15+ years behind the times. I was doing it with PERL in the early 2000s and doing it now with Powershell. Thomas gives you the tools to be ahead of your peers when it comes to Powershell. I knew this would be a great asset to have in my toolbox because I also have his Windows Server 2016 Cookbook.
