Personal Review: Windows PowerShell Cookbook: for
Windows, Exchange 2007, and MOM V3 by Lee Holmes
With 'Windows PowerShell Cookbook: for Windows, Exchange 2007, and
MOM V3' learn how the old way of writing scripts for Windows is in the past
and it's better that way!
PowerShell (released in 2006) is quite simply a new way of shell scripting
for Windows that takes the old command way of doing things and injecting
it with super steroids. By leveraging the power of .NET and giving the user
a good way to use it via the command line, PowerShell is the end result.
Everything that administrators or power users ever did before or wanted to
do in Windows can now be done faster and better than before and this is
the perfect guide to help you do the things that you never thought were
possible before.
