Course Overview3:14
Learn how wearables serve as temporary storage for objects in Windows PowerShell, and outline their usage rules, including creation, management, and basic calculations.
Variable Rules2:24
Define valid PowerShell variable names, favoring letters and numbers; use underscores only when necessary, and curly braces to include spaces while the dollar sign prefixes access.
Using Variables6:13
Assign objects to variables with the equals operator in PowerShell, work with arrays and objects, access members via dot notation, and use -is and -as for type checks and conversions.
Math Operators and Quotation Marks6:05
Master PowerShell math operators—plus, minus, multiply, and divide—using parentheses to control evaluation. Discover how quotes trigger or suppress variable expansion, how sub expressions work, and grave accents.
Security Goals3:15
Explore Windows PowerShell security goals, execution policy, and trust in script security, and learn to configure shell security features as part of defense in depth to protect against script-based attacks.
Execution Policy3:51
Explore PowerShell execution policy as a security feature, default restricted, and how to view and set policies at local, group policy, or session level, including code signing requirements.
Understanding Trust and Other Security Features6:15
Explore how trust and code signing certify script authors, verify identities, and ensure script authenticity in Windows PowerShell, with execution policies, extensions, and path resolution tips.
Intro to WMI and CIM8:14
Explore Windows Management Instrumentation and the Common Information Model, comparing WMI and CIM standards and how PowerShell connects to them locally and remotely.

Parameterizing Changing Values8:46
Learn to parameterize changing values in PowerShell scripts, test commands individually, and build a robust script that retrieves the 50 most recent security event logs from a designated computer.
Write Verbose Comment Based Help6:16
Write verbose comment-based help for Windows PowerShell scripts by embedding a command-based help block with synopsis, description, parameters, and examples, and enable verbose output for runtime status messages.
Lab1 Moving from Command to Script6:36
Transform a Windows PowerShell command into a reusable script by adding a parameter block, mandatory computer name, drive time and drive type defaults, plus verbose output and command-based help.
Lab1 Answers3:31
This lab lecture provides answers for lab exercises, demonstrating PowerShell scripting with Get-Disk, including execution policy, computer name and drive type parameters, verbose output, and header comments.

Requirements

Familiarity with general Windows and Microsoft server administration

Description

This course is aimed to IT Pros and is supposed to give the viewer the information they need to know to get started with Powershell and how to manage Windows Server 2016 with its help.

In this course, you will learn to package a Windows PowerShell™ command in a script module. Script modules are an effective way to share commands with coworkers and colleagues. With script modules, you can make complex commands available to someone with less technical expertise, and you can more easily reuse the commands.

The course is targeted to help to automate and script daily tasks. There are lots of live demonstrations how to use PowerShell commands and a Server's GUI. I hope it will help to do your job more efficiently.

Take Care Not to Miss Out!
