This course provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to use Windows
PowerShell for administering and automating administration of Windows servers. This course
provides students the skills to identify and build the command they require to perform a
specific task. In addition, students learn how to build scripts to accomplish advanced tasks
such as automating repetitive tasks and generating reports. This course provides prerequisite
skills supporting a broad range of Microsoft products, including Windows Server, Windows
Client, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft SQL Server,
System Center, and more. In keeping with that goal, this course will not focus on any one of
those products, although Windows Server, which is the common platform for all of those
products, will serve as the example for the techniques this course teaches.
