PowerShell is one of the most exciting new products
to come out of Microsoft in a long time. It is both a new scripting language
and a command-line shell. People who have seen the demos have been extremely
impressed by the power it brings to admins to automate and customize their
regular tasks. PowerShell will be used as the basis for all Windows administrative
scripting in the future, starting with Exchange 2007 and Vista. IT Pros
have been hungering for whatever PowerShell information they can get their
hands on.
This book first focuses on PowerShell basics, how
it relates to existing Windows scripting practices, and how your existing
knowledge can be translated into PowerShell knowledge. After gaining insight
into PowerShell, you are presented with transferable PowerShell scripting
examples. The goal of presenting these examples is to outline methods of
using PowerShell to manage Windows Server, Active Directory, and Exchange
Server 2007 that have not been explained or touched upon by other sources.

- Understand PowerShell's basics and background

- Manage the Windows File System, the Windows registry, Active Directory,
