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.
