Part1

You are a member of the IT department in your organization, and you are asked to provide a scripting solution for some of the tasks your group must repeat on a regular basis. The group has decided to use Windows PowerShell for this work, and you need to provide information about this scripting tool and how the IT department will be able to use it for their scripting needs.

For a quick introduction to PowerShell and some of its features, visit the following site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter.

  • Use the Library and Internet to find information about Windows PowerShell.
  • Provide an example of a Windows PowerShell script that could be used for an administrative task in an IT department.
  • Discuss how the sample script works.
  • Include at least 1 reference to research sources.
