Windows PowerShell transformed the way administrators and developers interact with Windows, allowing them to script administrative tasks and control Windows from the command line. It's now a daily timesaver for anyone working with Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server, and other mission-critical tools.

Windows PowerShell in Action, Second Edition shows how to build scripts and utilities to automate system tasks or create powerful system management tools to handle the day-to-day tasks that drive a Windows administrator's life. This updated edition covers PowerShell V2 in detail, with full chapters on remoting, modules, events, and the PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment.

While no prior knowledge of PowerShell is required, the reader should have some amount of scripting or programming experience.
