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.
This course is intended for IT Professionals who are already experienced in general Windows Server and Windows Client administration, and who want to learn more about using Windows PowerShell for administration. No prior experience with any version of Windows PowerShell, or any scripting language, is assumed. This course is also suitable for IT Professionals already experienced in server administration, including Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, SQL Server, System Center, and others.

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.
Active Directory administration cmdlets
Network configuration cmdlets
Other server administration cmdlets
Creating and managing Active Directory objects

Identify and use cmdlets for other server administration tasks.
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.
Understanding the pipeline
Selecting, sorting, and measuring objects
Filtering objects out of the pipeline
Enumerating objects in the pipeline
Sending pipeline data as output
Selecting, sorting, and displaying data

Enumerating objects
Lab : Sending output to a file
Exporting user information to a file
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.
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.
Passing the pipeline data
Advanced considerations for pipeline data
Lab : Working with pipeline parameter binding
Predicting pipeline behaviour
After completing this module, students will be able to:
Pass data by using the ByValue technique.
Describe the advanced techniques for passing pipeline data.
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.
Using PSProviders
Using PSDrives
Lab : Using PSProviders and PSDrives
Creating files and folders on a remote computer
Creating a registry key for your future scripts
