Learn how to use the shell interactively (that’s right, no scripting required) to perform key Windows administrative tasks. You’ll learn all about PowerShell’s object-oriented pipeline, and learn how to manage services, run processes, and more. You’ll also learn how PowerShell interfaces with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) to extend your management reach to remote machines and into the directory. You’ll learn all of the key PowerShell commands—called cmdlets—that enable core Windows administration tasks. You’ll also learn to produce management and auditing reports using PowerShell’s built-in filtering, grouping, sorting, exporting, and formatting capabilities. You’ll even get a peek at PowerShell’s built-in scripting language and capabilities, and learn all the tips and tricks for using PowerShell that you’ll need to work faster and more efficiently.
And that's just Day 1! The sessions run 11/4 and 11/5. If you are already planning on attending WinConnections, this would make an excellent addition to your schedule.
