Look inside

Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition is an innovative tutorial designed for administrators. Just set aside one hour a day -- lunchtime would be perfect -- for a month, and you'll be automating Windows tasks faster than you ever thought possible. You'll start with the basics -- what is PowerShell and what can you do with it. Then, you'll move systematically through the techniques and features you'll use to make your job easier and your day shorter.

about the technology
