Why PowerShell?

• GUI is cool and neat but powerless• GUI enthusiast? Think twice it´s all about efficiency• Automation = saved time• Similar to CMD but alot way better• Some things can only be done with PowerShell• IF GUI is down, PS is alive

The basics• PowerShell uses CmdLets to work • CmdLet = Verb+Noun (i.e Get-Help)• Switches make CmdLets better (i.e Get-Help Get-WmiObject –

full)• Modules store CmdLets• Thoussands of CmdLets avail within lots of modules + aliases

you create• You can chain CmdLets with “|”

• PowerShell uses autocomplete• You can create PowerShell script files (.ps1) to reuse them• Why use notepad or PowerShell console? Use ISE!
