  • Chapter 8 Automation Using Powershell
    Chapter 8 Automation Using PowerShell Virtual Machine Manager is one of the first Microsoft software products to fully adopt Windows PowerShell and offer its users a complete management interface tailored for script- ing. From the first release of VMM 2007, the Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console was written on top of Windows PowerShell, utilizing the many cmdlets that VMM offers. This approach made VMM very extensible and partner friendly and allows customers to accomplish anything that VMM offers in the Administrator Console via scripts and automation. Windows PowerShell is also the only public application programming interface (API) that VMM offers, giving both developers and administrators a single point of reference for managing VMM. Writing scripts that interface with VMM, Hyper-V, or Virtual Server can be made very easy using Windows PowerShell’s support for WMI, .NET, and COM. In this chapter, you will learn to: ◆ Describe the main benefits that PowerShell offers for VMM ◆ Use the VMM PowerShell cmdlets ◆ Create scheduled PowerShell scripts VMM and Windows PowerShell System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2007, the first release of VMM, was one of the first products to develop its entire graphical user interface (the VMM Administrator Con- sole) on top of Windows PowerShell (previously known as Monad). This approach proved very advantageous for customers that wanted all of the VMM functionality to be available through some form of an API. The VMM team made early bets on Windows PowerShell as its public management interface, and they have not been disappointed with the results. With its consis- tent grammar, the great integration with .NET, and the abundance of cmdlets, PowerShell is quickly becoming the management interface of choice for enterprise applications.

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.
