Best Practices with PowerShell

Read the Help, Update the HelpFocus on the objectUse the pipelineFilter Left, Format RightUse Meaningful variable names, and type

Best Practices with PowerShell

Think about Code Reuse, return objectsUse verb-noun naming standard for scripts/functionsNo Aliases in scriptsUse Full Parameter names in scripts

Best Practices with PowerShell

$ErrorActionPreferences = ‘SilentlyContinue’Use –erroraction parameter instead

Don’t reinvent the wheel -> but always check what you are running !Never run first in Production, and Test , Test, Test >Don’t write-host

Please don’t Write-HostUse these cmdlets insteadDisplay formatted help use comment based helpDisplay Progress write-progressVerbose Information write-verboseDebugging information write-debugDisplay a warning write-warningDisplay an error use write-error

If you must use write-host,It’s important to rememberit changes the object

Career Limiting Scriptsget-aduser -filter * | remove-aduser –force

Get-CsBlockedDomain -Filter *domain* | Remove-CsBlockedDomain

$userpath = $aduser.samaccountname$fullpath = "\\Servername\fileshare\" + $userpath Cmd /C "rmdir /S /Q $userpath“

RecapUse Powershell the way its been designed: Get-help Get-commandGet-member

PowerShell is EverywhereEverything you can do in the GUI you can do in PowerShell

Final Thought….

Failing to learn PowerShell is career limiting, It’s not scary, It’s easy to learn, and It’s

Everywhere, And best of all…

PowerShell is PowerShell is PowerShell.Learn it Once, Use it Everywhere.
