Book Description

This heavily updated edition is designed to help you learn how to use PowerShell 7.1 effectively and manage the core roles, features, and services of Windows Server 2019 in an enterprise setting. The majority of the scripts are also compatible with Windows Server 2022. Brand new to this edition are recipes exploring the .NET Framework, enterprise server security, and managing Windows Server with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

This latest edition equips you with over 100 recipes you'll need in day-to-day work, covering a wide range of fundamental and more advanced use cases. We look at how to install and configure PowerShell 7.1, along with useful new features and optimizations, and how the PowerShell compatibility solution bridges the gap to older versions of PowerShell. Topics include using PowerShell to manage networking and DHCP in Windows Server 2019, objects in Active Directory, Hyper-V, and Azure. Debugging all your scripts is crucial, so the book introduces some powerful tools to diagnose and resolve issues with Windows Server 2019.
