Learn Interactive PowerShell @ Scientific Programming School
Scientific programmers often use shell, but go beyond Linux and jump into Windows! On Windows, for automation of tasks you’ll need to know Powershell! Now you can practice the latest PowerShell PS7 @ Scientific Programming School. Our interactive shell system has got even more powerful by incorporating the PowerShell.
What is Power Shell PS7?
PowerShell is an interactive Command-Line Interface (CLI) and automation engine designed by Microsoft to help design system configurations and automate administrative tasks. This tool has its own command-line with a unique programming language similar to Perl.
PowerShell offers users an extensive environment where they can execute and automate system management tasks.
The user can access resources from Active Directory to Exchange Server through one program. At its core, PowerShell allows the user to access:
- Command Prompt
- PowerShell Commands
- .NET Framework API
- Windows Management Instrumentation
- Windows Component Object Model
PowerShell’s is mainly used to help users automate administrative jobs. The user can customize hundreds of commands, called cmdlets. It is important to note that Microsoft restricts users from using custom PowerShell cmdlets in its default settings. In order to use PowerShell cmdlets, you need to change the ExecutionPolicy from Restricted to RemoteSigned. Remote Signed will allow you to run your own scripts but will stop unsigned scripts from other users. To change your Execution policy, type in the following PowerShell command:
PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicyTo change to RemoteSigned, type the following command:
PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSignedWhen using on your computer make sure you’re on an Administrator account so that you have permission to set a new execution policy.
