What Can You Do with PowerShell?
PowerShell is a powerful tool that can be used to manage a wide variety of systems, including:
- Windows: PowerShell is particularly well-suited for managing Windows systems, including servers, workstations, and cloud-based environments. You can use PowerShell to perform tasks such as installing software, managing user accounts, and configuring system settings.
- Azure: PowerShell can be used to manage Azure resources, including virtual machines, storage accounts, and networking components.
- Office 365: PowerShell can be used to manage Office 365 accounts and services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
- Active Directory: PowerShell can be used to manage Active Directory domains and forests, including creating and managing user accounts, groups, and organizational units.
Some common uses for PowerShell at work include automating repetitive tasks, managing large numbers of systems or users, and integrating different systems or services. For example, you might use PowerShell to automate the deployment of software updates to a fleet of servers, or to provision and manage user accounts in Office 365.
