Enjoy using Project
Have fun working with… make it work for you.. Not against you
When I first started using --- then I started going … this sucks, this sucks and now back to enjoying
Understand how what is going on
Key Engineers Jeffery Hicks / Don Jones / Jeffrey P Snover
Snover Monad Manifesto
Scriptable shell
Command Line Interface -- Admin want GUI
Push back on GUI
“Services for UNIX” -- almost work but not pure
Core Linix vs
Windows is API --Linix is a document oriented --edit a file
Windows is API only works with GUI – work
CLIs and WMIC -- IIS is one of the only
WMIC --- lot’s of code required to produce results
Windows Management Interface Command (WMIC)
Single script for each time – everything had to be test
Very difficult to write command lines
Piping – A | B | C
Monad Manifesto
Monad –
PowerShell V1
Windows Server Optional
PowerShell V2
Windows 2008 R2
Many tools and real function
PowerShell V3
Windows 2012
PowerShell V4
Windows R2
PowerShell V5
