About the Book
“PowerShell is awesome.” I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard this phrase and I never get tired of hearing it..
I remember the launch of Windows Server 2012 like it was yesterday. It was a major release with innovation across the board in Hyper-V, Storage, Networking, Scale and Performance. Underlying all of this innovation was one unifying investment designed to make it easier for you to harness these technologies: PowerShell. With over 2500 PowerShell commandlets built-in, rich automation was now in everyone’s hands. Over the years, we listened as you used PowerShell for everything from simple repeatable tasks to complex deployments of servers, software and services where PowerShell removed human error.
A few releases later, we’ve added over a thousand new commandlets, Desired State Configuration (DSC), and Just Enough Administration (JEA) making PowerShell an indispensable and valuable skill for every résumé. If you haven’t learned PowerShell yet, there’s no time like the present. (Spoiler alert: It’s fun too…) The authors are PowerShell experts and MVPs who teach and coach in the Microsoft community with years of experience. In addition, they have used their learnings in the community to provide feedback to the PowerShell team and help influence the product direction. Whether you or a seasoned user or a PowerShell newbie, you can’t ever know too many PowerShell Tricks.
