This is today's definitive hands-on guide to automating Windows setup, deployment, and management with Windows PowerShell. Microsoft senior consultant Ed Wilson ("The Scripting Guy") fully illuminates every key PowerShell technique -- especially the major improvements and new cmdlets introduced with PowerShell 5.0. Wilson's positive and humorous approach has made him one of the world's most popular PowerShell instructors. His practical examples and insights will help you maximize productivity and quality in all your IT operations, and integrate automated workflows throughout any traditional or cloud environment. Windows PowerShell Step by Step, Third Edition offers more labs and structured learning exercises than any other PowerShell 5.0 tutorial. Wilson guides you step-by-step through building every script he demonstrates. He reinforces key concepts with step-by-step exercises, including "One Step Further" exercises that deepen your understanding, so you can solve your unique problems. All examples and starter files are downloadable at the TechNet Script Center Script Repository. Coverage includes: * Basic PowerShell concepts and cmdlets * Key providers: Alias, Certificate, Environment, File System, Function, Registry, Variable, and WSMAN * Remoting, jobs, scripts, functions, and modules * Windows PowerShell ISE and snippets * Creating, organizing, and running PowerShell profiles * WMI: objects, namespaces, providers, classes, and queries * Remoting WMI and calling WMI methods via CIM * Automating Active Directory and AD Domain Services * Debugging scripts and handling errors * Defining complex workflows * Using Desired State Configuration (DSC) to quickly enforce or restore configuration settings * Finding and using the PowerShell Gallery's powerful new resources Each chapter concludes with a convenient quick reference, and Wilson presents detailed appendices on coding conventions and regular expressions. If you're upgrading from any earlier version of PowerShell, a new "Start Here" section identifies the most valuable PowerShell features you haven't already learned, so you can focus your efforts where they'll make you most productive.
