Active Directory and Exchange are just two of the many processes in the Windows ecosystem that may be automated with the help of Windows PowerShell, a potent tool for simplifying configuration and automating tasks. It should come as no surprise that sysadmins and knowledgeable Windows users find it to be a useful tool. The majority of administrative operations in PowerShell are carried out using cmdlets, which are specialized.NET classes that execute a certain operation. These operate by gaining access to information in various data stores that are made accessible to PowerShell via providers, such as the file system or Windows Registry. PowerShell can have cmdlets and providers added by other developers. [6] [7] Scripts, which in turn may be bundled as modules, may use cmdlets. The.NET API and cmdlets function together. Administrators may carry out administrative operations on both local and remote Windows systems thanks to PowerShell's support for.NET Remoting, WS-Management, CIM, and SSH. Additionally, PowerShell has a hosting API that enables the PowerShell runtime to be integrated into other programs. Then, these programs can employ PowerShell functionality to carry out certain tasks that are made available through the graphical user interface included. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 made use of this feature to implement the graphical management tools as PowerShell hosts that call the required cmdlets, as well as to expose its administration capabilities as PowerShell cmdlets and providers. [6] [8] Through PowerShell cmdlets, the management interface of other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2008, is also exposed.
