Troubleshooting Windows Server with PowerShell is coming to bookstores near and far on June 1st, 2016. The aim of the book is to help IT Professionals discover and understand the benefits of using Microsoft PowerShell to improve productivity when managing servers from the local network to those running in the public cloud.
The command line has long been something that was there for certain management tasks and served well to check the pulse of a system with utilities like Ping, but not much else. PowerShell changes all of that and improves the use of scripts and repeatable actions. It brings a plethora of tools to the system administrator’s toolbox.
Troubleshooting Windows Server with PowerShell takes a streamlined approach to explaining things like:
- Managing Windows Event logs
- Working with Hotfixes and Applications
- Service and Process management
In addition, features like Desired State Configuration (DSC), functions, and modules are covered to showcase methods available to improve productivity in managing Windows.
Because technology changes so rapidly, PowerShell is very much a living organism and can expand as things change. The help system included with PowerShell is also updateable and will continue to help you learn the environment as it changes. This book is a great starting point for getting up to speed with PowerShell, but will also help even seasoned Windows administrators grow their knowledge in the ever-changing landscape that is Windows.
You can get Troubleshooting Windows Server with PowerShell at Amazon for $29.99.
