Off the back of Eileen’s post, I just couldn’t resist a new ebook.
So Exchange Management Shell: TFM is a 386 page secured! PDF document, with the last 8 being adverts for Sapien Press!. The secured bit is a a major pain in the butt as you can’t copy from the PDF doc. So a PDF ebook, that has code snippets becomes kind like a paper book and unusable to a degree as it prevents the nice easy copy, paste and run the script attitude of an ebook!
Any way apart from the copy & paste issue the books covers quite a lot. Here are the top level subjects
-
Exchange Management Shell: Rules of Thumb
-
Managing Recipients
-
Managing Public Folders
-
Managing Organization Configuration
-
Managing Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server Role
-
Managing Exchange 2007 Client Access Server Role
-
Managing Exchange 2007 Hub Transport Server Role
-
Managing Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging
-
Managing Exchange 2007 Edge Transport Server Role
-
Built-in Scripts and Test Cmdlets
-
Recipient Filter
Just having a skim it looks like (now I might be doing it an injustice) a glorified get-help
get-help * | where {($_.pssnapin -like “*Exchange*”)} | sort Name | foreach-object {get-help $_.Name -Full}
I do feel a bit cheated by this ebook. Maybe it’s because I am not a Powershell newbie, I don’t know, but I can’t see any value add in this ebook .. sorry :-| Maybe it is better suited for a newbie
