- 5. Windows PowerShell …is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for Windows system administration …has a task-based scripting language …includes powerful object manipulation capabilities …is built on the .NET Framework
- 6. Verb-Noun PowerShell uses a Verb-Noun syntax for its Cmdlets • Get-Something • Set-Something • New-Something • Remove-Something
- 7. Get-Command & Get-Help • While you can do a lot of the same things as the typical command prompt, use Get- Command to see available commands • Use Get-Help <cmdlet> to get help information for a cmdlet
- 8. Using PowerShell Profiles • PowerShell uses 2 profiles, a user specific profile and a machine-wide profile… • Use profiles to pre-load scripts, functions, environmental variables, shell settings, aliases, etc.
- 9. Script Editors & Tools • Notepad.exe (Lame) • Notepad++ (Less Lame) • Windows PowerShell ISE (Pretty Good - includes IntelliSense, Syntax highlighting) • Quest PowerGUI (Awesome – Adds advanced debugging, and other cool things – don’t worry, I’ll show you!) • Others…
- 10. SharePoint 2010 Cmdlets • 500+ Cmdlets… • MUCH better than STSADM.exe… • Can automate complete installations and configurations… • Still doesn’t answer every scenario, leaving gaps in functionality… – Example: Get, New and Remove SharePoint Groups – no cmdlet, easy to write a custom function though…
- 11. Creating a SharePoint Web Application using out-of-the-box PowerShell Cmdlets DEMONSTRATION
- 12. Demo Recap • Used New-SPWebApplication to create a new SharePoint Web Application… • Stored the SPWebApplication object into the $webapp variable • Used Get-Member to view Methods and Properties associated with the Web Application
- 13. Creating a SharePoint Site Collection using out-of-the-box PowerShell Cmdlets DEMONSTRATION TWO
- 14. Demo Recap • Used New-SPSite to create a new SharePoint Site Collection… • Stored the SPSite object into the $site variable • Created a $web variable from $site.rootweb • Used the $web variable to change the Site Title using the SP Object Model • Used Get-History and Pipeline to create a simple script from our command history… • Cool right, but what if we could make this reusable??? (Hint: we can)
- 15. Extending PowerShell with Scripts and Functions • PowerShell Scripts have .ps1 file extension… • Scripts and functions behave similarly if not identically, but functions are more reusable… • Scripts can reference functions and cmdlets… • Functions can include other functions within them and can also reference cmdlets…
- 16. Using what we already learned and making it better. DEMONSTRATION THREE
- 17. Demo Recap • Used the following cmdlets in conjunction with the pipeline to automagically build a function based on what we did in our first demonstration: – Get-History – Select-Object – Out-File • Used Quest PowerGUI to edit our function by adding Parameters, eliminating hard-coded values… • Added comment-based help from PowerGUI Snippet… • Tried out our cool, new function…
- 18. The Power IS in the Shell, Use it Wisely! • PowerShell is VERY powerful, be aware of memory issues... • Use dispose() method for Site and Web objects, or better yet… • Use Start-SPAssignment –Global to capture all objects in the Global store, then use Stop-SPAssignment –Global to dispose of all objects…
