WHAT IS POWERSHELL

           •   Microsoft task automation framework built on the .NET framework
                • Command-line shell
                • Scripting language (*.ps1)
           •   Common “shell” to Microsoft technologies (AD, SQL, SP, Server, etc.)
           •   Full access to COM (Component Object Model) and WMI (Windows
               Management Instrumentation) for local and remote system
               management
           •   Replacement to STSADM (deprecated)
           •   PowerShell > STSADM
                • All STSADM operations have a PowerShell equivalent
                • Integrated support for multiple platforms/services (not SP specific)
                • Easily Extendable

           WORKING WITH POWERSHELL


1/7/2012                   Making Life Easier with PowerShell   6
POWERSHELL SNAP-INS

           •   PowerShell snap-in registers sets of cmdlets and/or providers,
               extending the default functionality of the shell
           •   Similar to a web browser plug-in
           •   Added and removed as needed during user session




1/7/2012                  Making Life Easier with PowerShell   7
POWERSHELL CMDLETS

           •   A cmdlet (“command-let”) is a specific command executed in the
               PowerShell environment
           •   Following a common {verb}-{noun} naming convention, cmdlet
               functions are typically easily understood, ie: Add-PSSnapin, Get-
               SPWeb, etc.
           •   Used like a function, cmdlets take one or more input
               parameters/objects, and output objects or arrays of objects
           •   Cmdlets can be piped together, allowing the output object of one to
               become the input object of another
           •   Objects are always processed individually, if multiple input objects are
               specified, each object will be fully processed before the next is begun

WHEN TO USE POWERSHELL

           •   Making life “easier” with PowerShell should equate to increased
               efficiency, lower cost, and lower turnaround
           •   Identify those processes which are repetitive in nature or those that
               require extended “hands-on” time

POWERSHELL PIPELINE

           •   The use of the PowerShell Pipeline allows the output object of one cmdlet
               to become the input object of another
           •   “Piping” is performed by using the pipe character “ | ” between cmdlets
           •   Applies to native cmdlets (such as sorting, logical operations, and data
               manipulation) and functional cmdlets (such as those for SharePoint)

                • Logical Example:
                   Get-SPContentDatabase -WebApplication http://intranet | Where
                   {$_.CurrentSiteCount -gt 5}

                • Functional Example:
                   Get-SPSite http://intranet | Get-SPWeb | Enable-SPFeature -Identity
                   “MyFeature”

  • 5. WHAT IS POWERSHELL • Microsoft task automation framework built on the .NET framework • Command-line shell • Scripting language (*.ps1) • Common “shell” to Microsoft technologies (AD, SQL, SP, Server, etc.) • Full access to COM (Component Object Model) and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) for local and remote system management • Replacement to STSADM (deprecated) • PowerShell > STSADM • All STSADM operations have a PowerShell equivalent • Integrated support for multiple platforms/services (not SP specific) • Easily Extendable 1/7/2012 Making Life Easier with PowerShell 5
  • 6. Core Concepts WORKING WITH POWERSHELL 1/7/2012 Making Life Easier with PowerShell 6

  • 8. POWERSHELL CMDLETS • A cmdlet (“command-let”) is a specific command executed in the PowerShell environment • Following a common {verb}-{noun} naming convention, cmdlet functions are typically easily understood, ie: Add-PSSnapin, Get- SPWeb, etc. • Used like a function, cmdlets take one or more input parameters/objects, and output objects or arrays of objects • Cmdlets can be piped together, allowing the output object of one to become the input object of another • Objects are always processed individually, if multiple input objects are specified, each object will be fully processed before the next is begun 1/7/2012 Making Life Easier with PowerShell 8
  • 9. WHEN TO USE POWERSHELL • Making life “easier” with PowerShell should equate to increased efficiency, lower cost, and lower turnaround • Identify those processes which are repetitive in nature or those that require extended “hands-on” time 1/7/2012 Making Life Easier with PowerShell 9
