“DA RULEZ, CUZ

WE GOTTA HAVE „EM”

You always talk about script

club

You always talk about

script club

If someone asks for help, and

you can help, you help

Two people help one person at

one time

All scripts, all

powershell

SCRIPTS WILL BE AS

SHORT AS THEY CAN BE

If THIS IS YOU FIRST TIME AT

SCRIPT CLUB

YOU HAVE TO SCRIPT

Windows 7 and server2008r2

Powershell I S E

I S E

Integrated Scripting Environment

A way to edit AND troubleshoot

Easier way for accessing Help

Better way to see what is THERE

FOREACH-OBJECT

Allows us to work with INDIVIDUAL parts of a list (Like a Directory)

READ-HOST

Let’s you READ information from the HOST system (console) and

maybe store it away

Breakpoints allow you to put “STOPS” in your script for testing

and troubleshooting

Easier way to pull out variables, things don’t just “Run By”

“LET’S SCRIPT!”

DEMO

“Powershell ISE!”

Powershell ISE – Built into Windows 7 and Server 2008R2 part of Powershell V2

RC of Powershell V2 is Downloadable for Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista / Server 2008

BEFORE you can make Breakpoints, you have to save the script with a name at least once.

F9 or RIGHT CLICKING and choosing “TOGGLE BREAKPOINT” turns a Breakpoint ON or OFF. TURNS LINE SOLID RED

RIGHT CLICKING and choosing “DISABLE BREAKPOINT” leaves a Breakpoint available but ignored

F5 Runs the Script, and Continues past Breakpoinits

You can assign almost ANYTHING to a variable in Powershell just by preceding the name of the variable with a “$”

$BIGPILEOFSTUFF=GET-CHILDITEM, $OTHERTHING=‘MyName’

You can step through most items in a list using FOREACH-OBJECT, Once those items are in your hand you can manipulate and work with them on a much more granular level

GET-MEMBER can tell you a LOT about a Variable or almost ANYTHING in Powershell, Use IT and Abuse IT

The Period “.” allows you to step into smaller pieces of a variable
