Description

With a foreword from PowerShell creator Jeffrey Snover, this heavily updated edition is designed to help you learn how to use PowerShell 7.1 effectively and manage the core roles, features, and services of Windows Server in an enterprise setting. All scripts are compatible with both Window Server 2022 and 2019. This latest edition equips you with over 100 recipes you'll need in day-to-day work, covering a wide range of fundamental and more advanced use cases. We look at how to install and configure PowerShell 7.1, along with useful new features and optimizations, and how the PowerShell compatibility solution bridges the gap to older versions of PowerShell. Topics include using PowerShell to manage networking and DHCP in Windows Server, objects in Active Directory, Hyper-V, and Azure. Debugging is crucial, so the book shows you how to use some powerful tools to diagnose and resolve issues with Windows Server.

Who is this book for?

This book is for systems administrators, software architects, developers, or engineers working with Windows Server seeking to automate tasks more effectively with PowerShell 7.1. Basic knowledge of PowerShell is expected.

This is the most practical and comprehensive book I’ve ever read about Powershell. No obscure filler, it’s all about best practices on how to accomplish meaningful work, learning Powershell and being productive!For someone ready to learn more than the basics – this book has every topic I’m currently interested in:• Powershell 7• CLI efficiency (PSReadline)• How to navigate .Net, C# and WMI libraries• Powershell Security• Server AD automation and managementThe organization of this book is so concisely repetitive, and so well thought out - it’s on another level. It’s apparent the author has given a great deal of thought about the organization of this book, provided as the best way to understand and apply each lesson. Greatly appreciated 😉As a Powershell enthusiast, I am always looking to get the most out of my reading investments. This book delivers on all fronts:• Easily digestible.• Meticulously organized.• Meaningful and relevant topics.• Multiple technologies taught at the same time.• Practical knowledge, theory taught utilizing multiple technologies at the same time.Its everything I’d want to see from a System Engineering perspective. Fills in gaps with theory on basic topics and also includes those advanced to take your Powershell to the next level.

This book has been a great resource for me to catch up with major developments in PowerShell. The explanations go beyond just describing a feature - each one has clear discussion, example and detailed walk through. Thomas also points out the important outputs which makes it easy to see if you are either skimming a particular topic or reading to understand something in detail.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
