Windows PowerShell, formerly know by its codename "Monad" and
available now for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows
Vista, and soon for Exchange Server 2007 and MOM, is the future of
Windows administration. From setting up automated build
environments to managing 20,000 Exchange email clients in an
organization, any tool that reduces the number of repetitive steps
an administrator must perform, is a real win. Even better,
PowerShell part of a major Microsoft initiative that aims to
replace a host of Windows management tools with a single, unified
shell. This is the promise of PowerShell and the reason IT
professionals need to start learning how to use it today Reflecting
the best of legacy tools such as bash and the Korn shell,
PowerShell also breaks new ground in its command language design
and its use of the object-oriented .NET Framework. And there is no
better way to learn how to put PowerShell to work than to get your
hands on Monad, O'Reilly's innovative, hands-on introduction to the
tool. This concise 200-page book is an exciting tour of some of the
new capabilities that PowerShell puts into the hands of system
administrators and power users, and is the perfect complement to
existing PowerShell documentation. With more than 40 hands-on
activities, the book covers every angle, from using PowerShell
commands and its object-oriented pipelines to querying systems,
generating reports and writing scripts that automate existing
tasks. Adding to the lure is the fact that the book is written by
Microsoft manager, Andy Oakley with a Foreword by PowerShell
architect Jeffrey Snover-so you can be certain that it's teeming
with inside information. Monad lets you see for yourself how
PowerShell can significantly improve your productivity. Because the
PowerShell technology has wide appeal, so, too, does this compact
guide. Developers, administrators, and power users alike can all
benefit from its insight. If you're someone who habitually drifts
toward the c-m-d keys, knows all of the switches to most command
tools, or spends time authoring batch files to solve new
challenges, this book is right up your alley. And if your
organization plans to upgrade soon to Exchange 2007 or MOM V3,
there's no time to waste. Breaking News: A PowerShell RC1 Update to
the book is now available at no charge from the book's catalog page
