This course provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to use Windows PowerShell for administering and automating administration of Windows servers. This course provides students the skills to identify and build the command they require to perform a specific task. In addition, students learn how to build scripts to accomplish advanced tasks such as automating repetitive tasks and generating reports. This course provides prerequisite skills supporting a broad range of Microsoft products, including Windows Server, Windows Client, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft SQL Server, System Center, and more. In keeping with that goal, this course will not focus on any one of those products, although Windows Server, which is the common platform for all of those products, will serve as the example for the techniques this course teaches.

Module 1: Getting started with Windows PowerShell

This module will introduce you to Windows PowerShell and provide an overview of the product’s functionality. The module shows you how to open and configure the shell for use and how to run commands within the shell. The module also introduces the built-in Help system in Windows PowerShell.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Open and configure Windows PowerShell
• Find and run Windows PowerShell commands
• Run commands by using the correct command and parameter syntax

Module 2: Cmdlets for administration

This module introduces you to the cmdlets commonly used for administration. While you can search for cmdlets each time you need to accomplish a task, it is more efficient to have at least a basic understanding of the cmdlets available for system administration.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Identify and use cmdlets for Active Directory administration
• Identify and use cmdlets for network configuration
• Identify and use cmdlets for other server administration tasks

Module 3: Working with the Windows PowerShell pipeline

This module introduces the pipeline feature of Windows PowerShell. Although the pipeline feature is included in several command-line shells such as the command prompt in the Windows operating system, the pipeline feature in Windows PowerShell provides more complex, more flexible, and more capable functionalities compared to other shells. This module provides you with the skills and knowledge that will help you use the shell more effectively and efficiently.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Describe the purpose of the Windows PowerShell pipeline
• Select, sort, and measure objects in the pipeline
• Filter objects out of the pipeline
• Enumerate objects in the pipeline
• Send output consisting of pipeline data

Module 4: Understanding how the pipeline works

This module shows you how Windows PowerShell passes objects from one command to another in the pipeline. The shell provides two techniques that you can use. Knowing how these techniques work, and which one will be used in a given scenario, lets you construct more useful and complex command lines.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Pass data by using the ByValue technique
• Describe the advanced techniques for passing pipeline data

Module 5: Using PSProviders and PSDrives

This module introduces the PSProviders and PSDrives adapters. A PSProvider is basically a Windows PowerShell adapter that makes some form of storage resemble a disk drive. A PSDrive is an actual connection to a form of storage. You can use these two adapters to work with various forms of storage by using the same commands and techniques that you use to manage the file system.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Use PSProviders
• Use PSDrives

Module 6: Querying system information by using WMI and CIM

This module introduces you to two parallel technologies: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Common Information Model (CIM). Both these technologies provide local and remote access to a repository of management information including access to robust information available from the operating system, computer hardware, and installed software.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Explain the differences between Common Information Model (CIM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
• Query management information by using CIM and WMI.
• Invoke methods by using CIM and WMI.

Module 7: Working with variables, arrays, and hash tables

This module provides you the skills and knowledge required to use variables, arrays, and hash tables in Windows PowerShell.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Assign a value to variables
• Describe how to manipulate variables
• Describe how to manipulate arrays and hash tables

Module 8: Basic scripting

This module shows you how to package a Windows PowerShell command in a script. Scripts allow you to perform repetitive tasks and more complex tasks than cannot be accomplished in a single command.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Run a Windows PowerShell script
• Use Windows PowerShell scripting constructs
• Import data from a file

Module 9: Advanced scripting

This module introduces you to more advanced techniques that you can use in scripts. These techniques includes gathering user input, reading input from files, documenting scripts with help information and error handling.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Accept user input for a script
• Explain script documentation
• Implement error handling for a script
• Explain functions and modules

Module 10: Administering Remote Computers

This module introduces you to the Windows PowerShell remoting technology that enables you to connect to one or more remote computers and instruct them to run commands on your behalf.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Describe remoting architecture and security
• Use advanced remoting techniques
• Create and manage persistent remoting sessions

Module 11: Using background jobs and scheduled jobs

This module provides information about the job features of Windows PowerShell. Jobs are an extension point in Windows PowerShell, and there are many different kinds of jobs. Each kind of job can work slightly differently, and has different capabilities.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Create and manage background jobs
• Create and manage scheduled jobs

Module 12: Using advanced Windows PowerShell techniques

This module covers several advanced Windows PowerShell techniques and features. Many of these techniques and features extend functionality that you have learned about in previous modules. Some of these techniques are new and provide additional capabilities.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Create and manage profile scripts
• Use advanced techniques to work with data
