about the technology
PowerShell is a powerful scripting language for Windows, Mac and Linux. It’s perfect for automating any system administration task. With PowerShell, you can perform tedious multi-step tasks right from the command line and save your work as scripts you’ll be able to use over and over. And because it’s a full-featured programming language, you can build tools that you can share with other users.
PowerShell is a task automation and configuration tool built into all Microsoft Operating Systems since Windows 7. PowerShell was such a useful tool that versions of PowerShell for XP and Windows Server 2003 were released as add-ons to the operating systems in 2009. But PowerShell is more than this. Unlike earlier Microsoft task automation and configuration tools PowerShell is a fully defined language utilizing the powerful .Net framework Object Orientated Programming (OOP). With its pre-defined cmdlets native to Microsoft systems, servers and domains an admin doesn’t need to have any previous programming experience to make it useful right away; and as your programming experience grows so too does the flexibility and power of the language. A cmdlet (pronounced command-let) is a lightweight command written into the PowerShell language that can be used to perform specific functions.
