Course Description
This course provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to use Windows PowerShell for administering and automating administration of Windows
servers. This course provides students the skills to identify and build the command they require to perform a specific task. In addition, students learn how to build
scripts to accomplish advanced tasks such as automating repetitive tasks and generating reports. This course provides prerequisite skills supporting a broad range of Microsoft products, including Windows Server, Windows Client, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft SQL Server, System Center, and more.
In keeping with that goal, this course will not focus on any one of those products, although Windows Server, which is the common platform for all of those products,
will serve as the example for the techniques this course teaches.

No prior experience with any version of Windows PowerShell, or any scripting language, is assumed.
