Learn how to automate and streamline day to day management and administration tasks in your Windows Server Infrastructure.
Learn how to automate and streamline day to day management and administration tasks and functions in your Windows Server Infrastructure. This three-day course is a follow on course from the 10961: Automating Administration with Windows PowerShell course. It is built on Windows Server 2012 R2 and while it is specifically focused on Windows PowerShell v4.0, is also relevant in v2.0 and v3.0 Windows PowerShell environments. Expand and build upon your basic expertise in Windows PowerShell Administration and focus on building more scalable and usable Windows PowerShell scripts for use in your organization by building your own Windows PowerShell tools. The detailed hands on labs and in depth content and learning will help remove manual tasks that you may currently have to perform as an Administrator, allowing you to make your own Windows PowerShell tools for automated, repeated, accurate management and provisioning of your Windows Server infrastructure.

Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to: • Create Advanced Functions • Use Cmdlets and Microsoft .NET Framework in Windows PowerShell • Write Controller Scripts • Handle Script Errors • Use XML Data Files Manage Server Configurations by Using Desired State Configuration • Analyze and Debugging Scripts • Understand Windows PowerShell Workflow
Module 1: Creating Advanced FunctionsIn this module students will learn how to parameterize a command into an advanced function. It is designed to teach several key principles in a single logical sequence, by using frequent hands-on exercises to reinforce new skills.Lessons Converting a Command into an Advanced FunctionCreating a Script ModuleDefining Parameter Attributes and Input ValidationWriting Functions that use Multiple ObjectsWriting Functions that Accept Pipeline InputProducing Complex Function OutputDocumenting Functions by using Content-Based HelpSupporting -Whatif and -ConfirmLab: Converting a Command into an Advanced FunctionConverting a Command into an Advanced FunctionLab: Creating a Script Module Creating a Script ModuleLab: Defining Parameter Attributes and Input ValidationDefining Parameter Attributes and Input ValidationLab: Writing Functions that use Multiple ObjectsWriting Functions that use Multiple ObjectsLab: Writing Functions that Accept Pipeline InputWriting Functions that Accept Pipeline InputLab: Producing Complex Function OutputProducing Complex Function OutputLab: Documenting Functions by using Content-Based HelpDocumenting Functions by using Content-Based HelpLab: Supporting -Whatif and -ConfirmSupporting -Whatif and ConfirmModule 2: Using Cmdlets and Microsoft .NET Framework in Windows PowerShellWindows PowerShell provides commands that accomplish many of the tasks that you will need in a production environment. Sometimes, a command is not available but the .NET Framework provides an alternate means of accomplishing a task. Because Windows PowerShell is built on the .NET Framework, it is able to access those alternate means. In this module, you will learn how to discover and run Windows PowerShell commands, and how to use .NET Framework components from inside Windows PowerShell. These two techniques will provide you with the most flexibility and capability for accomplishing tasks in a production environment.Lessons Running Windows PowerShell CommandsUsing Microsoft .NET Framework in Windows PowerShellLab: Using .NET Framework in Windows PowerShellUsing Static and Instance MembersModule 3: Writing Controller ScriptsIn this module, students will learn how to combine tools ? advanced functions that perform a specific task ? and a controller script that provides a user interface or automates a business process.Lessons Understanding Controller ScriptsWriting Controller Scripts that Show a User InterfaceWriting Controller Scripts That Produce ReportsLab : Writing Controller Scripts that Display a User InterfaceWrite Functions to be Used in the Controller ScriptWrite a Controller Script that Implements a Text-Based MenuLab: Writing Controller Scripts That Produce HTML ReportsWriting Functions To Be Used in the Controller ScriptWriting a Controller Script That Produces HTML ReportsModule 4: Handling Script ErrorsIn this module, students will learn how to perform basic error handling in scripts. The focus will be about how to add error handling to existing tools, primarily as a time-saving mechanism (instead of having students write new tools). A side benefit of this approach is that it will help build the skills that you must have to analyze and reuse existing code written by someone else.Lessons Understanding Error HandlingHandling Errors in a ScriptLab: Handling Errors in a ScriptHandling Errors in a Script
Module 5: Using XML Data FilesIn this module, students will learn how to read, manipulate, and write data in XML files. XML files provide a robust, yet straightforward way to store both flat and hierarchical data. XML files are more flexible than CSV, more accessible for small amounts of data than SQL Server, and easier to code against that Excel automation.Lessons Reading, Manipulating and Writing Data in XMLLab : Reading, Manipulating and Writing Data in XMLTesting the Provided ToolsUpdating an XML Inventory DocumentModule 6: Managing Server Configurations by Using Desired State ConfigurationIn this module, students will learn how to write Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration files, deploy those files to servers, and monitor servers? configurations.Lessons Understanding Desired State ConfigurationCreating and Deploying a DSC ConfigurationLab: Creating and Deploying a DSC ConfigurationWriting, Running and Pushing a DSC ConfigurationModule 7: Analyzing and Debugging ScriptsIn this module, students will learn how to use native Windows PowerShell features to analyze and debug existing scripts. These skills are also useful when students have to debug their own scripts.Lessons Debugging in Windows PowerShellAnalyzing and Debugging and Existing ScriptLab: Analyzing and Debugging and Existing ScriptAnalyzing and Debugging and Existing ScriptModule 8: Understanding Windows PowerShell WorkflowIn this module, students will learn about the features of the Windows PowerShell Workflow technology.
