Use PowerShell to Streamline and Automate Your Most Time-Consuming
Windows Administration Tasks

With Windows PowerShell, Microsoft brings innovative console-based
system administration and scripting to Windows clients and servers.
PowerShell combines the best features of traditional UNIX shells with
the immense power of the .NET Framework, offering a consistent and
easy-to-use replacement for both the Windows command line and the
Windows Script Host. In Essential PowerShell, noted expert Holger
Schwichtenberg gives Windows sysadmins all the knowledge and sample
scripts they need to successfully administer production systems with
PowerShell.

Schwichtenberg begins by introducing the innovative PowerShell
architecture, along with crucial PowerShell concepts such as pipelining
and navigation. Next, he introduces the PowerShell Script Language,
shows the secure execution of command sequences as scripts, and
demonstrates how to use PowerShell to access essential operating system
interfaces such as COM, WMI, ADSI, and ADO.NET.

After you’ve mastered the fundamentals, Schwichtenberg presents an
extensive collection of PowerShell solutions for virtually every area of
day-to-day administration. For each topic, he presents dozens of
self-contained examples, all downloadable from a companion Web site. He
covers both Microsoft’s standard PowerShell commandlets and the free
commandlets available as PowerShell Community Extensions. He also
presents a full chapter of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting solutions.
