Managing Windows Active Directory With PowerShell - Intro

In today's era of automation, Windows Powershell is proven to be very handy scripting language for windows server admins. Having knowledge of Powershell scripting is always a great thing to have in your armoury. In last few years Microsoft have really managed to make PowerShell more and more powerful by introducing modules for most of the server roles and tools likes Active Directory, DNS DHCP, Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL and what not.

I always believe in automation and innovation at workplace. As I have been working with active directory and DNS since last few years, i would like to share my experience on managing AD and DNS using PowerShell and believe me it is really fun to manage servers and applications using PowerShell, Once you get to know about simple tricks I am sure you will get addicted to PowerShell :) .

So let's get started, I will try to write at least one article or script per week, I am assuming that readers of this page have basic knowledge of AD and DNS and understand terms like AD users, groups, computers and other basic terms of AD.
