Free PowerShell Book to Download

Windows administration has changed greatly from the the days of NT 3.5 when I started out. The most dramatic change happened with the release of Windows Server 2008 and the advent of PowerShell. Windows has always been, well windows. All tasks were completed through the use of a GUI and needed to be repeated on all servers that they applied to.

Microsoft Windows PowerShell command line shell and scripting language helps IT professionals achieve greater control and productivity. Using a new admin-focused scripting language, more than 130 standard command line tools, and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell allows IT professionals to more easily control system administration and accelerate automation. Windows PowerShell is easy to adopt, learn, and use, because it works with your existing IT infrastructure and existing script investments, and because it runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003. Windows PowerShell is now included as part of Windows Server 2008 and PowerShell 2.0 in Windows Server 2008 R2. Exchange Server 2007, System Center Operations Manager 2007, System Center Data Protection Manager V2, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager also leverage Windows PowerShell to improve administrator control, efficiency, and productivity.

Dr. Tobias Weltner, a German PowerShell MVP and noted author on the topic has released a free eBook “Mastering PowerShell”. If you are new to PowerShell or an old pro, this book is sure to provide some insights and useful information…..and the price is right!
