PowerShell
• Printing client (workstation) generates the print job
and sends it to the print server (computer sharing
the printer)
• If multiple jobs are sent to a print server, it saves the
print jobs to a temporary disk storage, this process is
know as spooling
• Print spooler service—accepts the print job and
stores it in memory or on the hard drive until the
print device can accept it.
– Default Spool folder: c:\windows\system32\spool\printers
• Shared v. local Printers
– Can push drivers down to client when
connecting.
– Central point for driver updates.
– Will push drivers down for previous versions of
Windows.
• Managing Print Jobs
– Print Queues—a stack of print jobs, all jobs
waiting in line, first come, first served.
– You can manage the queues by double clicking on
the printer in your Devices and Printers console.
– You will typically only have access to manage or
cancel your own jobs.
• The Print and Document Services Role is
required to share printers on the network
– Quiz alert!
Adding the Print Services role through Server
Manager
• The Print Management console gives the Help
Desk Technician a single tool to accomplish all
necessary tasks to make the printer available
to the network.
– View, manage add printers, print servers and
queues
– Deployment of printers via Group Policy (Domain
Feature)
– Update Drivers
• Print server—a device that manages print
services in a network environment. The print
server can be any workstation on the network.
• Printers can be added by either searching the
network, adding a TCP/IP or Web Services
Printer by IP address or host name, by existing
port, or by creating a new port.
• Installing and Deploying a Shared Printer
• New printers can be added and deployed
through the Print Management console found
in Server Manager or Administrative Tools
• Troubleshooting procedures can include one
or more of the following:
– The application that is attempting to print
– The logical printer on the computer on which the
application is running
– The network connection between the client and
the logical printer on the server
– The connection between the print server and the
printer
– The printer itself—its hardware, configuration,
and status
• Verify that the print client can connect to the
print server
– Ping the print server’s IP
• Verify that the printer is operational
– Is it turned on? Paper? Blinking lights?
• Verify that the printer can be accessed from
the print server.
– Ping
• Verify that the print server’s services are
running.
– Print Spooler
• Microsoft ® shell environment
• Gives administrators more power and
command in the shell environment
– Hence…PowerShell?
• Active Directory Module for Windows®
Powershell allows for Active Directory specific
command-line and scripted operations
• Only available in Windows ® Server R2 and
Windows ® 7
• First, we need to understand naming formats
– Distinguished namecn=John Doe, OU=Sale_OU,
DC=MS1, DC=local
– RDNRelative Distinguished Name
• CNCommon Name
• DCDomain Component
• OUOrganizational Unit
– Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
• SVBlue1.ms1.local
• Growing resources daily

• Creating an Active Directory user account:
– New-aduser
• How do I use it? Get HELP! No seriously gethelp
– Get-help new-aduser
– Get-help new-aduser –examples
– Get-help new-aduser –detailed
• new-aduser jdoe
• New-aduser “John Doe” –samaccountname
“jdoe” –Givenname “John” –Surname ……..
• Setting Passwords
– Set-ADAccountPassword –Identity jdoe -Reset NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString AsPlainText "p@ssw0rd" –Force)
• Change attributes for multiple users
– Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*"' -SearchBase
"OU=Sale_OU,DC=MS1, DC=Local" | Set-ADUser Description "Member of the Sales Department"
• Display user attributes
– Get-aduser jdoe
– Get-aduser jdoe –properties * | more
• Add groups and members
– Add-adgroupmember “Sale_Group”
– Add-adgroupmember “Sale_Group” –member
jdoe
• A great deal more online
