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.

Windows Server Automation with PowerShell Cookbook by Thomas Lee is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the automation of Windows Servers. The book provides an in-depth look at PowerShell, a powerful scripting language for Windows, and how it can be used to automate various aspects of Windows Server administration. While a longtime PowerShell user, there are several tasks that I have not felt comfortable using PowerShell to complete, the skills I learned in several sections of this book, boosted my confidence.The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the fundamentals of Windows Server automation and provides detailed examples of how to use PowerShell to automate specific tasks. The second part covers more advanced topics such as using PowerShell for scripting and automating complex tasks.The book includes numerous examples and screenshots to illustrate each topic, making it easy to understand the concepts presented. It also includes a number of useful PowerShell scripts that can be used as-is or modified to meet specific needs.Overall, Windows Server Automation with PowerShell Cookbook is an excellent resource for anyone interested in automating Windows Servers. It provides a comprehensive look at Windows Server automation and is a great resource for both experienced and novice PowerShell users. This was a great book after completing PowerShell in a Month’s worth of Lunch’s.In addition to providing an in-depth look at the fundamentals of Windows Server automation, the book also covers topics related to managing Hyper-V and containers. It provides detailed information on deploying Hyper-V hosts, managing virtual machines, and troubleshooting Hyper-V issues. It also covers the basics of containerization and provides guidance on creating, managing, and troubleshooting containers. Furthermore, the book provides guidance on using PowerShell to automate various tasks related to Hyper-V and containers.The use of PowerShell for Windows Server automation has numerous benefits. It allows for faster and more efficient management of Windows Servers, saving time and money. Additionally, PowerShell is a powerful scripting language that allows for the automation of complex tasks and provides users with more control over their Windows Servers. Furthermore, PowerShell scripts can be reused and modified to meet specific needs, making it a highly flexible and cost-effective solution for automating Windows Servers. Ultimately, using PowerShell for Windows Server automation can help streamline operations and reduce costs.Many of the chapters of this book helped me to learn how to automate some of the tasks, I complete daily. Using these scripts and skills in my home lab has helped me build skills to the workplace. This “cookbook” is definitely worth a read, and the space in my digital bookshelf. The book is written in a clear, concise manner and is easy to understand. It is well-organized, providing an overview of each topic before diving into the details. Additionally, each chapter contains a list of useful resources for further reading.

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.
