5. What is Windows PowerShell?
Command-line interface and scripting language used for SharePoint Server administration
Compliments CMD
Extends STSADM
Uses XML & Objects
Built on the .Net Framework

6. Why do we care?
Complete command-line system that is far more powerful than any previous Windows-based command-line prompt environment.
Provides:
More Control
More Efficiency
More Productivity

7. What about STSADM?
STSADM still available to support backwards compatibility
Can leverage it in Windows PowerShell scripts
Whatever STSADM can do, Windows PowerShell can do better!
Ability to run against SQL Snapshots, instead of production.
More granular control for backup / restore.

8. Windows PowerShell Basics
cmdlet
pronounced "command-let“
single function that can be used separately or combined with other cmdlets to perform complex tasks and automate administration

9. Windows PowerShell Basics
cmdlets = verbs (actions) & nouns (objects)
Combine the two to build specific commands
Examples
Get-SPSite
Get = Verb
SPSite = Noun

10. Getting the list of SharePoint cmdlets
Get a list of all commands:
Get-Command –noun sp*
Get help for a specific command:
Get-Help <cmdlet>

11. Getting the list of SharePoint cmdlets
For more detailed help add the following parameters:
Get-Help <cmdlet> -full
Get-Help <cmdlet> -examples
Get-Help <cmdlet> -detailed
