PowerShell can be leveraged when automating and streamlining SQL
Server tasks. PowerShell comes with a rich set of cmdlets, and
integrates tightly with the .NET framework. Its scripting
capabilities are robust and flexible, allowing you to simplify
automation and integration across different Microsoft applications
and components. The book starts with an introduction to the new
features in SQL Server 2014 and PowerShell v5 and the installation
of SQL Server. You will learn about basic SQL Server administration
tasks and then get to know about some security-related topics such
as the authentication mode and assigning permissions. Moving on,
you will explore different methods to back up and restore your
databases and perform advanced administration tasks such as working
with Policies, Filetables, and SQL audits. The next part of the
book covers more advanced HADR tasks such as log shipping and data
mirroring, and then shows you how to develop your server to work
with BLOB, XML, and JSON. Following on from that, you will learn
about SQL Server's BI stack, which includes SSRS reports, the SSIS
package, and the SSAS cmdlet and database. Snippets not specific to
SQL Server will help you perform tasks quickly on SQL servers.
Towards the end of the book, you will find some useful information,
which includes a PowerShell tutorial for novice users, some
commonly-used PowerShell and SQL Server syntax, and a few online
resources. Finally, you will create your own SQL Server Sandbox
VMs. All these concepts will help you to efficiently manage your
administration tasks. Style and approach SQL Server 2014 with
PowerShell v5 Cookbook is an example-focused book that provides
step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish specific SQL Server
tasks using PowerShell. Each recipe is followed by an analysis of
the steps or design decisions taken and additional information
about the task at hand. Working scripts are provided for all
examples so that you can dive in right away. You can read this book
sequentially by chapter or you can pick and choose which topics you
