Idea

Business Development OperationsSlide6

In the past, Windows Server was a great operating system

for a

single

server

and

its devices

Windows Server 2012 is a great operating system

for many serversand the devices that connect themwhether they are physical or virtualon premises or off premisesWindows Server Management PhilosophySlide7

PowerShell Automation is…Slide8

We know…Admins are busy and don’t have timeLearning a new language and system (aka PowerShell) takes time!

We vow…

Learn PowerShell and we will make it the best investment you ever made

We will leverage what you learn over and over and over

PowerShell “Sacred Vow”Slide9

PowerShell 1.0Introduced a great scripting language for local machine managementGreat APIs for developers to write

cmdlets

and providers

Microsoft Exchange made a big bet on PowerShell

Shipped with Windows Server 2008

PowerShell 2.0

Shipped with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Remoting

CEC: Common Engineering Criteria

What:

All Microsoft server products are required to comply with a set of engineering requirements as part of the CEC

Goal:

Reduce the overall total cost of ownership through improved integration, manageability, security, reliability, and other critical infrastructure

Requirement:

All management surfaces must be exposed via PowerShell

cmdlets

or providers

Result: COVERAGEManagement CECSlide13

CIM Based Cmdlets

Leverage WMI Investment

Write a WMI v2 provider

Write a Cmdlet Definition File (.

cdxml

)

Get PowerShell

cmdlets

with a low cost of entry

Benefits

No dependency on .NET Framework

Ideal for low level components (file system, networking)Remoting over CIM using WSMan and CimSessions

PowerShell Workflow

Multi-machine orchestration engine built on Windows Workflow Foundation and .NET

4.0

Launch-able from command-line or SC Orchestrator

Reliably execute long-running management tasks across multiple machines or IT

processes

Robust:

Able to suspend & resume individual workflows, survive machine reboots

Performant

: Connection pooling, workflow throttling, and shared hostingScalable:

Execute multiple tasks in parallel, common parameters for multi-machineReliable: Automatic connection and action retry with configurable intervalsFamiliar: Author workflows as PowerShell scripts or using XAML, manage as PSJobsSlide21

Scheduled Jobs

Job Scheduling allows you to schedule

the execution

of a PowerShell background

job

Support for a rich set of triggers

Once at a specific date & time

Daily, weekly, or custom interval (day, week, month)

With a specific repetition duration or interval

At log on, at startup, or with a random delay

Under a different user account

New PSScheduledJob module with 16 cmdlets

*-JobTrigger to create scheduled triggers*-ScheduledJob to register, unregister, and change scheduled job definitions*-ScheduledJobOption to configure advanced settings*-Job to retrieve results from scheduled, workflow, and background jobsSlide22

Simple & Easy Delegated Administration

Session Configuration Files

Easy remote endpoint creation

Uses .psd1 PowerShell data files

Declarative name-value pairs

No scripting

required

RunAs

New settings within

WSMan

plug-in

RunAsUser

&

RunAsPassword

Allows running remote sessions with different

creds

SharedHost

Normally each session runs in a separate process

Allows multiple remote sessions to run in same

processSlide23

PowerShell DSC

The “End Game”

This technology was the “final destination” in the “Monad Manifesto.” That’s the document written by Windows PowerShell inventory Jeffrey

Snover

, wherein he described his vision for changing administration in a Microsoft environment.

In some respects, DSC eliminates the need for some administrators to even learn Windows PowerShell. It’s that important.

In the future, expect DSC to be the

primary administrative interface

for Microsoft products

and services

.Slide24

DeploymentSlide25

Two Deployment Modes

Push

Use

Start-

DscConfiguration

to copy MOF to target node(s). Node(s) evaluate configuration immediately and again every 15 minutes (by default).

Manual process. Non-core DSC resources must be manually deployed to nodes.

Pull

Use push mode to enroll target node(s), configuring them with their pull server information. Target node(s) check the pull server every 30 minutes (default) and re-apply configuration.

MOF files must be copied to pull server, and must be accompanies by a checksum file.

DSC resources must be ZIPped and placed on pull server. Nodes will copy down any resources they are missing.Slide26
