  2. What are scripts? • A script or scripting language is a computer language with a series of commandswithin a file that is capable of being executed without being compiled • Example script languages are: • Perl • PHP • Python • JavaScript • For system administration then the scripts are written for: • Linux Bash (covered in the Linux slides) • Windows Batch (covered in the Windows slides) • Windows VBScript • Windows PowerShell

  3. VBScript • Developed by Microsoft • Modeledon Visual Basic. • Used for managing computers with error handling, subroutines, and other advanced programming constructs • File extensions are: • .vbs • .vbe • Not been updated for some time • PowerShell is the current recommendation

  4. What is PowerShell? • A user interface for task automation and configuration management • It includes a command-line shell and a scripting language. • Intended to replace the command prompt • Allows you to simplify and automate tedious and repetitive tasks by creating scripts and combining multiple commands together • Contains hundreds of customizable commands, which are called cmdlets • Works with objects • Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_PhysicalMemory“ will provide the amount of installed RAM

  5. Two shells • Windows PowerShell • Command line console • Windows PowerShell ISE • ISE Integrated Scripting Environment • Graphical user interface • Allows you to easily create scripts of multiple commands • Scripts saved as .PS1 files for later execution

  6. PowerShell script to make in Notepad – save as slot.ps1 $strComputer = Read-Host "Enter Computer Name to list memory slot information" $colSlots = Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_PhysicalMemoryArray" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computerName $strComputer $colRAM = Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_PhysicalMemory" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computerName $strComputer $NumSlots = 0 write-host "" $colSlots | ForEach { “Memory Slots in computer: $strComputer” $NumSlots = $_.MemoryDevices } $SlotsFilled = 0 $TotMemPopulated = 0 $colRAM | ForEach { $SlotsFilled = $SlotsFilled + 1 $TotMemPopulated = $TotMemPopulated + ($_.Capacity / 1GB) } write-host "" If (($NumSlots - $SlotsFilled) -eq 0) { write-host "ALL Slots Filled, NO EMPTY SLOTS AVAILABLE!" } write-host ($NumSlots - $SlotsFilled) " of " $NumSlots " slots empty" write-host ($SlotsFilled) " of " $NumSlots " slots full" write-host "" write-host "Total Memory = " $TotMemPopulated "GB" write-host "" pause

  7. Run a PowerShell script • Right click the slot.ps1 file in file explorer • Select Run in PowerShell
