about the technology
Microsoft's PowerShell language lets you write scripts to control nearly every aspect of Windows. Just master a few straightforward scripting skills, and you'll save yourself from hours of tedious tasks. The lunch hours you spend learning PowerShell scripting will quickly pay you back with days of saved time!
Most of the preliminary information you need is covered in chapter 1, but here are a few things we should mention up front. First and foremost, we strongly suggest that you follow along with the examples in the book. In order to follow along, you’ll need PowerShell installed. This book was written based on PowerShell 7.2, but honestly, 99% of the book also applies to earlier versions of Windows PowerShell.
You’ll also need to install a script editor. Though Windows PowerShell's Integrated Script Editor (ISE) is included on client versions of Windows, we recommend removing it, since the PowerShell team has not put any maintenance or support into it since Windows 7 was released. Microsoft recommends Visual Studio Code (VS Code), which is free and cross-platform. Download that, and in chapter 2 we'll show you how to set it up. Finally, you need to be able to run the PowerShell console, and your editor, "as Administrator" on your computer, mainly so that the administrative examples we're sharing with you will work.
