Windows PowerShell in Action

Windows PowerShell in Action

by Bruce G . Payette (Author)

Synopsis

Finding and moving a file or folder on a Windows system is a trivial task.

Finding and moving a thousand files every day across a network can be a

full-time job. With the release of this new scripting language, Windows gains

something Unix has had since the beginning: a tool to automate system management

tasks. Microsoft sysadmins, developers, and power users have been asking

for this for a long time.

PowerShell replaces today's cobbled-together assemblies of third-party management

tools with an elegant programming language and a powerful scripting

shell.

Windows PowerShell in Action shows how to build scripts and utilities to

automate system tasks or create powerful system management tools to handle

the day-to-day tasks that drive aWindows administrator's life. Because it's based

on the .NET platform, PowerShell is also a powerful tool for developers and

power users.
