Tech-Ed 2007 - Top 5 PowerShell Questions

Corrections on AD and Server Core

Great post. FAQs like that help a lot!

1. AD Cmdlets (Get-QADUser, Set-QADUser, Get-QADGroup, Add-QADGroupMember, New-QADUser, etc.) are an easier approach that many are taking to manage AD with PowerShell.

2. If your Server Core installation is a domain controller then you actually can use PowerShell from any other workstation to manage the AD remotely. No need to login interactively: http://dmitrysotnikov.wordpress.com/2007/05/15/how-powershell-can-manage-longhorn-core/

Great post. But I'd like to know where I should post more questions.

Just in case, my question is "Is there any way I can automate the conversion of legacy batch scripts into powershell scripts?"

Thanks for the commments guys!

Yuvraaj, I`m not aware of a tool that converts batch files to PowerShell scripts, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist :)

However, personally if I had a load of legacy scripts that work, I would keep them. Write new scripts in PowerShell, but if something doesn't need to be changed and it already works I would keep using it. That's probably just because I am lazy though :)

Cheers

I also own "PowerShell in Action", and I highly recommend it.

Regarding working against remote hosts, NetCmdlets'>http://www.nsoftware.com/powershell/ includes a lot of Internet communication

cmdlets for ftp, dns, snmp, and ldap communications. For example, you mentioned Active Directory,

another option is get-ldap and set-ldap in NetCmdlets. I've posted some examples of

them on'>http://www.google.com/search?q=NetCmdlets+site%3Ageekswithblogs.net/Lance my personal blog</a>, including examples of changing AD password, searching, and binding with PSCredentials.

Also check out PowerShell'>http://www.nsoftware.com/powershell/remoting/default.aspx
