As Windows has become more and more complex, it’s become harder to write useful scripts that keep you on track. 

Enter “PowerShell” – a great tool from Microsoft that helps you get to grips with all the scripting you could want within a Windows environment.  Essentially, I see it as a cross between batch files, Perl, and UNIX shell scripting with the end result being a powerful tool for system admins.

I could tell you more about it, but you’re better off either looking at the Microsoft PowerShell Blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/PowerShell/, or getting hold of a book on the subject, such as the excellent Windows PowerShell in Action.

Enjoy!
