PowerShell is as powerful as it sounds. If you're looking to automate tasks with PowerShell in an environment where you manager windows servers, this is a great book. It goes over all the necessary management you need to do for server administration, using PowerShell to automate it. Not only is the book thorough and detailed, but it simplifies the concepts well enough any beginner who isn't as familiar to learn from it. It was simple for me to read, as a beginner in automating windows server tasks. This book is a great tool to keep in my arsenal whenever I'll need to reference. Anyone can pick this up and learn something useful about PowerShell!

I have used PowerShell since Windows PowerShell 2.0 (Windows Server 2008 R2). This is a great book for Windows Administrators. It covers a lot of topics on daily Windows Server Administration tasks using PowerShell.I especially like Chapter 13 "Managing Windows Server with Window Management Instrumentation (WMI)". WMI is the most important component on Windows Operating System. It explains really well on WMI and how to use PowerShell to explore WMI.Great book and I have brought one for one of my Windows Server Admin friend who is learning PowerShell for his daily tasks.
