Course 50025: Windows PowerShell for Administrators
This three-day hands-on class will introduce administrators to the new Windows command-line shell, Windows PowerShell. Windows PowerShell offers both a command-line interface as well as a scripting environment. With connectivity to Microsoft products such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (MOM 2007), and many more, Windows PowerShell provides a consistent interface to more easily control system administration and accelerate automation. It runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008.
This course is intended for IT pros.
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- Use Windows PowerShell commands and navigate the Command Line Interface (CLI).
- Use pipelines and scripts.
- Manipulate data using variables and arrays.
- Create, execute, and sign scripts for security.
- Use script flow control statements.
