Показать описание

In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Don Jones explains Windows PowerShell. PowerShell is an execution engine that runs commands and scripts that accomplish tasks like creating new active directory users or installing roles on to a server. Learn it, and speed up every part of your administration.

If you think PowerShell is just a scripting language or a command line shell, think again: it is both of those things, but that's also not nearly all that it is.

PowerShell is an execution engine. It’s a background operation that runs commands that accomplish tasks.

Believe it or not, you: the user: can’t interact directly with the PowerShell engine itself. You need an interface of some kind.

There are graphical interfaces like Server Manager, which shows links, wizards, and buttons for generating Windows PowerShell commands.

You can also manually type out the commands that you want PowerShell to run. It is, after all, a shell: not a scripting language. It contains a scripting language, but you can run commands directly.

Follow along to see just how easy it is to use PowerShell, and how to learn it for yourself.

Not ever having used PowerShell myself, I'm not entirely surprised to see all the similarity with *nix. Even the help is just a man page. Nice video!
