Course programme
In this module students will learn a bit about PowerShell's purpose and history, and will learn the basics of using the shell, including the help system, command syntax, command discovery and more.
Working with the PipelineIn this module students will learn to use PowerShell's pipeline, along with a number of new commands, to start retrieving, manipulating, and displaying data. An emphasis is placed on proper syntax and form.
Understanding How the Pipeline WorksIn this module students will learn the underlying details of how commands are passed from one command to another in the pipeline. Having seen it in action, they'll now get to see some of the theory under the hood. The emphasis will be in the ByValue and ByPropertyName techniques, with demonstrations that illustrate effective uses of each. Students will also learn techniques that can be used in lieu of pipeline binding, for when such binding is unavailable or ineffective.
Using PSProviders and PSDrivesIn this module students will learn about PSProviders and PSDrives, and learn to use -Item* commands to manipulate items within a PSDrive.
Formatting OutputIn this module students will learn to manipulate command output to create customized on-screen, text file, and hardcopy results
Using WMI and CIMIn this module students will learn to use Windows Management Instrumentation / Common Information Model (WMI/CIM) to retrieve, and in some cases, modify management information about local and remote computers.
Prepare for ScriptingIn this module students will learn about pre-requisite features to writing PowerShell scripts, including variables and PowerShell's scripting security features.
Moving From a Command to a Script to a ModuleIn this module students will learn to take a command that runs well in the console, and turn it into a reusable script. A number of important concepts, such as error handling, will be introduced - but not explored in extreme depth. Students will be taught enough to be "immediately effective" with these concepts, but not given an exhaustive education. The point is to get them started in an effective fashion using best practices, and to give them a basis for further independent exploration.
Administering Remote ComputersIn this module students will learn how to configure and use PowerShell Remoting
Putting it All TogetherIn this module students will utilize much of what they've learned to this point in a practical, from-scratch-exercise to configure a newly-installed Server Core computer.
Using Background Jobs and Scheduled JobsIn this module students will learn to create and manage background jobs and scheduled jobs.
Using Advanced PowerShell Techniques and ProfilesIn this module students will learn several additional techniques and feature of Windows PowerShell.
