Automating Administration with PowerShell
Beskrivelse
Måske har du snust til PowerShell og kørt nogle scripts du har fundet på nettet, men nu vil du gerne videre med sproget og lære at stå på egne ben.
- Hvad er PowerShell, hvad kan jeg bruge det til, og hvordan kommer jeg ordentligt i gang?
- Hvad er forskellen på Windows PowerShell og PowerShell 7?
- Hvilke cmdlets og moduler skal jeg anvende og hvordan?
- Hvordan anvender jeg PowerShell til Azure, Azure AD og Microsoft 365?
- Hvordan anvendes remoting bedst?
Disse spørgsmål og meget mere får du svaret på i dette kursus i PowerShell.
Kurset er begrebsfokuseret med vægten lagt på syntaksen og tankegangen i PowerShell, og via konkrete kodeeksempler demonstrerer vi teorien. Hvert modul har tilhørende opgaver, så du får hands-on erfaring, og prøver de ting af du har lært.
Vi anvender konsollen til ad hoc scripting og ISE/Visual Studio Code som editor til længere scripts. Desuden arbejder vi med variable og funktioner, og vi ser hvordan man kan lave sit eget modul.
Alle Microsoft platforme kan i korte træk styres og administreres i Windows PowerShell. Derfor er scriptsproget bredt anvendt både inden for Azure og on-premise.
På kurset går vi i dybden med PSDrives, der anvendes mange steder til at udstille objekter, som man nemt kan navigere i. On-premise giver det f.eks. adgang til Windows Registry og IIS - i skyen findes alle Azure ressourcer i et PSDrive.
Du introduceres derudover til PowerShells CIM cmdlets, som er en erstatning af de gamle WMI-forespørgsler og er nyttige til at indhente systeminformation og konfigurere indstillinger, som ikke er tilgængelige direkte via PowerShell.
Vi bruger også meget tid på Remoting, som er en helt central del af PowerShell til fjernadministration af servere og desktop maskiner. Windows PowerShell anvender winRM, imens PowerShell 7 også tilbyder SSH. Længerevarende scripts kan køres ad hoc som et job, eller de kan knyttes til et baggrundsjob og eksekveres efter en fast tidsplan f.eks. hver nat.
Vi øver os i at oprette og administrere ressourcer, f.eks. en virtuel maskine i Azure der elegant kan oprettes via Az-modulet til PowerShell i cloud shell. Azure AD brugere og grupper er helt centrale for alle Microsoft 365 tjenesterne såsom Teams, SharePoint og Exchange. Microsoft Graph modulet tilbyder en del cmdlets, men man kan stadig have brug for funktionalitet fra de gamle moduler.
