Using Windows PowerShell on Windows Embedded Standard

2. Using Windows PowerShell on Windows Embedded Standard Alexander Wechsler Enterprise Architect|CEO Microsoft Regional Director Germany|eMVP Wechsler Consulting GMBH & Co. KG EMB306

3. Disclaimer Everything you will hear in this session is experimental and should be taken that way! There is no support from Microsoft for this! Testing is up to you! -> well, if that is news to you… No risk, not fun!

4. Windows PowerShell New command line and scripting language • As interactive and composable as BASH/KSH As programmatic as Perl/Python/Ruby • As production oriented as AS400 CL/VMS DCL • Allows access to data stores as easy to access as filesystem

5. State of the SoftwarePhenomenal rate of adoption Over 2 million downloads in less than 18 months Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008 • Shipped with • Windows Server 2008 Adopted by Exchange, SQL, SCOM, SCVMM, and SCDPM Millions CEC 2009 requirement Dozens of 3rd party tools, ISVs, and partners Strong community engagement, 27 PowerShell MVPs

6. The Difference is OBJECTS! Get-Process Where { $_.handles –gt 500 } Sort handles Format-Table Common Windows PowerShell Parser Get-ProcessCmdlet Where Cmdlet Sort Cmdlet FormatCmdlet Windows PowerShell Pipeline Processor

7. PowerShell Architecture • User Experience • Engine • Managed Elements • Shell • APIs • Cmdlets • WMI • COM • Language • Execution Context • .NET • XML • ADO • Debugger • Object Mgr • ADSI • Native Commands

8. PowerShell V2 Themes Admin GUIs layer on top of PowerShell • CLI & GUI • Agility in delivering new GUIs • Ensures automation • GUI teaches command line • Standardizes access to managed elements • GUI over PowerShell

9. PowerShell V2 Themes Scripts are • Easy to use • Safe to operate • Easy to share • Easy to support Production Scripting

10. PowerShell V2 Themes Expressions, Commands, and ScriptBlocks can run • In the foreground or background • On one or more machines • Over a LAN or a WAN • In restricted or unrestricted environments • Using impersonation or supplied credentials • Initiated by user input or by events Universal Code Execution Model

11. Demo Power of PowerShell

12. Why use PowerShell on Windows Embedded? • Change management is always a challenge • Build time • Factory floor • In-field maintenance • Operating system deployment • Commonly known tools • Show their age -> CMD.exe / batch files • Are good, but limited to their environment –> WSH • Are not comfortable to use -> DUA • Are moving towards PowerShell -> SCCM!

13. Embedded Scenarios 1/2 • Build process • Post FBA image configuration • Image sealing • Factory • Target Device Configuration • Computer name • Domain join • Etc. • HW and SW test/quality assurance

14. Embedded Scenarios 2/2 • Field • Adjusting user experience (desktop or shell settings) • Network configuration • IP-Settings • Network Share • Firewall • Handling of disk filters/HORM • Remote Management of devices • Device detection • WES Power Management

15. Getting PowerShell into a WES Image 1/2 Version 1.0 • Required • .NET Framework 2.0 • Web Services for Management (WS-Management) • Optional • Additional infrastructure targeted, e.g.: • WMI • EWF /FBWF manager console application

16. Getting PowerShell into a WES Image 2/2 Version 2.0 CTP • Required • .NET Framework 3.0 or higher setup • Web Services for Management (WS-Management) • Optional • Windows Management Instrumentation Technologies • Windows Firewall Control Panel, Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) • Administrator Account (withpassword) • Microsoft Management Console (MMC) • Group Policy Core Administration MMC Snap-In • COM+ Services • Write Filter ConsoleApplications

17. Adding Windows PowerShell Manual • Add required/desired components from the WES catalog to the image • Run through FBA • Run PowerShell installation manually Automatic • Add required/desired components from the WES catalog • Create silent setup components out of: • PowerShell Installer X86 • Web Services for Management (WS-Management 1.1)

18. Demo Creating Silent Setup Components

19. Demo Windows Embedded Standard Image with PowerShell Version 2.0 CTP

20. Real World Examples 1/3 • Build process • Add custom configurations • Add Boot Logo switch • Change wallpaper • Turn on EWF

21. Demo Build Process Samples

22. Real World Examples 2/3 • Factory • Check for image errors • List installed applications • List installed drivers • Change computer name • Read configuration from XML file • Change name • Reboot

23. Demo Factory Samples

24. Real World Examples 3/3 • Field • Enhancing DUA with PowerShell • Using PowerShell as DUA IDE • Static network settings using WMI • Enhancing user experience • Device detection

25. Device Update AgentArchitecture Development Environment Update Web Server Device Update Script (.DUS file) HTTP/HTTPS XPE Device Translator Validate and Tokenize Device Update Agent Command File (.DUP) Local File Storage

26. Device Update Agent Configuration

27. Demo Field Samples

28. Remote Management with PowerShell • Current limitation • WS-Management not supported in WES 2009 • WMI Remote Management supported • Target computer does not need to have PowerShell • WMI infrastructure required • Special DCOM configuration essential

29. Demo Remote Management with WMI

30. Advanced PowerShell Usage 1/3 • Writing custom Cmdlets • Great way to extend the language e.g.: “Start-EWF”, “Get-Sensors”, “Get-Robots” • Use .NET Interop to reach out to native APIs [Cmdlet(VerbsLifecycle.Start, "EWF“, DefaultParameterSetName = “Volume“, SupportsShouldProcess = true)] public class StartEWFCommand : PSCmdlet { …..Implement EWF functionality here }

31. Hosting the PowerShell Runtime • …… • using System.Management.Automation; • using System.Management.Automation.Host; • using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces; • namespace Microsoft.Samples.PowerShell.Host • { • class Host01 • { ....... • /// <param name="args">Unused</param> • static void Main(string[] args) • { • // Create an instance of this class so that the PowerShell • // will have access to the ShouldExit and ExitCode • // parameters. • Host01 me = new Host01(); • // Create the host instance to use. • MyHostmyHost = new MyHost(me); • // Create and open the runspace, passing the host • // instance just created. • RunspacemyRunSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(myHost); • myRunSpace.Open(); • // Create the invoker and use it to execute the script. • RunspaceInvoke invoker = new RunspaceInvoke(myRunSpace); • string script = “write-host ‘Hello World!’” • invoker.Invoke(script); • ......... • } • }

32. Advanced PowerShell Usage 2/3 • Host the PowerShell runtime • Get scripting capabilities for your application • Enhance a custom shell • Create a PowerShell provider for your application or Shell • PowerShell-enable your code /application Find the Powershell SDK at:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714469(VS.85).aspx

33. Advanced PowerShell Usage 3/3 • Use PowerShell in Deployment and Maintenance • System Center Configuration Manager • Windows Server Update Services • Windows Deployment Services • Not available on WinPE (no .NET support)
