PowerShell gives Windows administrators immense power to automate and customize virtually any administrative taskÔÇôsaving time, increasing productivity, and giving you unprecedented flexibility. PowerShell 2.0 adds important new features that offer even greater control over Windows environments. *Windows PowerShell Unleashed* will not only give you deep mastery over PowerShell but also a greater understanding of the features being introduced in PowerShell 2.0ÔÇôand show you how to use it to solve your challenges in your production environment. The authors begin by systematically illuminating PowerShellÔÇÖs core concepts and techniques, helping you leverage whatever Windows scripting experience you may already have. Next, using complete, easy-to-adapt examples, they show how to use PowerShell to manage file systems, permissions, the Registry, WMI objects, Active Directory, Exchange Server, and many other elements of the Windows environment. More than half of this editionÔÇÖs material and examples have been completely rewritten for PowerShell 2.0, and the authors have added seven entirely new chaptersÔÇôcovering security, PowerShell application development, Systems Center Operations Manager 2007, and much more. Whatever Windows systems you manage, *Windows PowerShell Unleashed* contains the scripts and techniques you need to manage them far more effectively. * Install, configure, and customize PowerShell 2.0 and master its command line interface * Discover proven best practices for PowerShell scripting * Make the most of PowerShell cmdletsÔÇôespecially the new cmdlets included in PowerShell 2.0 * Leverage PowerShellÔÇÖs deep .NET Framework integration * Secure your scripts using code signing, execution policies, and PowerShellÔÇÖs built-in security * Use custom script functions to manage permissions more efficiently * Control the registry locally and remotely and use PowerShellÔÇÖs powerful new registry transactions * Use PowerShell as a management interface * Automate Exchange Server 2007 administrative tasks * Automate the management of MicrosoftÔÇÖs new System Center Operations Manager 2007 * Preview the forthcoming Graphical PowerShell scripting environment * Understand how to manage Active Directory using PowerShell * Master using PowerShell with WMI * Learn PowerShell 2.0 remoting Download all examples and source code presented in this book from informit.com/title/9780672329883. ### About the Author With more than nine years of experience in the information technology sector, **Tyson Kopczynski **has become a specialist in Active Directory, Group Policy, Windows scripting, Windows Rights Management Services, PKI, and information technology security practices.

However, unlike just a simple revision of the existing book, which most likely would have resulted in only just a few updated chapters, I decided to instead treat this release in the series as almost a completely new book. Granted, the Community Technology Release (CTP) of PowerShell 2.0 did help drive the need to update all aspects of this edition. Nonetheless, there was also a lot of feedback (some positive and some negative) about how the first book could be improved. So, based on this feedback and the looming PowerShell 2.0 feature list, I set about making a major revision to the book. To start off right, I decided to address how the PowerShell language was covered in the series. After all, the first book in the series was script heavy, but lacking when it came to explaining some of the basics about the PowerShell language. Additionally, we wanted to go into greater detail about how PowerShell could be used to manage Windows resources while further addressing some of the finer technical details of PowerShellÔÇÖs architecture. Needless to say, all of these changes required a reorganization to not only the layout of the book, but also its size. The bottom line, in this new edition, there are six completely new chapters with the rest of the existing chapters either being extensively rewritten or updated. With all this extra content, the book needed additional authors to jump on board and help pound out the bookÔÇÖs technical prose. Thus, joining me on this book as coauthors were Marco Shaw (PowerShell MVP) and Peter Handley (contributing author from the first book). Together, Marco and Peter made great additions to this book and infused fantastic ideas together with even better contentÔÇöall while writing their chapters. Finally, the primary goal of this book was to start down the path of explaining the features found in the future 2.0 release of PowerShell. After all, with the 2.0 CTP release late last year, the PowerShell product team ignited our imaginations with the possibilities for what might come down the road (remoting). So, we simply had to do our best to explain the new features. However, given that the 2.0 version is still just a CTP and not a beta, we also walked down a slippery slope, considering that some of these features may not exist in the PowerShell 2.0 RTM. Naturally, like a good reporter might do, we did our best. In the end, we tried to include 2.0 content where applicable while also dedicating an entire chapter to only 2.0 features deemed too important to ignore or voted most likely to survive the beta. We hope our efforts result in a more comprehensive PowerShell book that can act as both a reference for the current PowerShell 1.0 release while also providing insight into where PowerShell might go with the 2.0 release. ## Who Is This BookÔÇÖs Intended Audience? This Unleashed book is intended for an intermediate level of systems administrators who have invested time and energy learning Windows scripting and want to translate those skills into PowerShell skills while learning how it can meet their real-world needs. This book has been written so that anyone with a scripting background can understand what PowerShell is and how to use it, but by no means is it meant to be a complete PowerShell reference. Instead, think of it as a resource for learning how PowerShell can be applied in your own environment. Therefore, the structure of this book reflects that focus by including numerous command examples and working scripts. ## How This Book Is Organized The book is divided into the following three parts: * Part I, ÔÇ£Introduction to PowerShellÔÇØÔÇöIn this section, you are introduced to PowerShell and some of its internal workings. Topics covered include items such as why PowerShell came into existence, general concepts about PowerShell and how it is constructed, and an in-depth review of PowerShell security. * Part II, ÔÇ£Using PowerShellÔÇØÔÇöIn this section, you learn more about the PowerShell scripting language, how to use PowerShell to manage Windows resources, and important best practices to follow when using PowerShell. Specific topics covered range from working with the Windows file system, the Registry, permissions, strings, and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to understanding PowerShell language concepts such as loops, functions, arrays, and so on. * Part III, ÔÇ£Managing Microsoft Technologies with PowerShellÔÇØÔÇöIn this section, you learn how PowerShell can be used to manage Microsoft technologies. Topics covered include using PowerShell to manage Active Directory, Exc |
