PowerShell for System Administrators

PowerShell® — is both a scripting language and a command shell that allows for system management and automation of virtually any task. In the book «PowerShell for System Administrators», Microsoft MVP Adam Bertram aka «the Automator» will show how to use PowerShell so that readers finally have time for games, yoga, and cats.
You will learn:
- To combine commands, control execution flow, handle errors, write scripts, run them remotely, and test them using the Pester testing framework.
- To analyze structured data such as XML and JSON, work with popular services (such as Active Directory, Azure, and Amazon Web Services), and create server monitoring systems.
- To create and design PowerShell modules.
- To use PowerShell for convenient, fully automated Windows installation.
- To create an Active Directory forest with just a Hyper-V node and a few ISO files.
- To create countless web and SQL servers with just a few lines of code!
Real-world examples help bridge the gap between theory and working in a real system, and the light author's humor makes reading easier.
