POWERSHELL: SCRIPTING & MORE
Powershell 2.0
Requirements
-Windows Management Framework (Includes)
-Windows Remote Management
-Windows Powershell 2.0
-Background Intelligent Transfer
Service (BITS) 4.0
The powershell team added approx. 100 new cmdlets
POWERSHELL: EXAMPLES
On systems that you want to remotely execute powershell commands without
interfacing WMI, you need to enable WinRM through powershell. To do this, run the
following command:
Enable-psremoting
To disable run:
Disable-psremoting
To run a command on a remote machine that is fully running and accepting WinRM
access, you can use the invoke cmdlet to execute scripts and/or commands like the
following:
Invoke-Command –ComputerName “Remote PC” –ScriptBlock {get-hotfix}
POWERSHELL: QUEST AD CMDLETS
Also, you can download the Quest AD cmdlets from the following site
http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx which will allow you to query AD for
specific objects and/or attributes.
For example, in your default Powershell profile script, you need to add the following………………….”AddPSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement” to the top of your profile script before you run any
commands.
Then you can create a function similar to the following………..
\\creates the command to run from the shell
function ext ($user)
{
$user = read-host "Enter Part of Name or extension"
$final = "*$user*"
get-qaduser -DisplayName "$final" | select DisplayName
}
