Seems, good, but how?

automation

• Let computer do , what they are suppose to do “to make our life easy.”

• Get rid of all manual task and try to automate using scripts as much as you can.

• Make script your best friends.• Write One and use anywhere you want and at anytime. • Use Powershell, it is very modular scripting language. • Use Powershell Cmdlets.

{ powershell scripting? No way, it is very hard }

It’s easy and

{show me, why should I believe you}

easy scripting

• 20 Lines of code versus one liner cmdlet in Powershell

time saving

• To Find laptop serial number• Process

• Power off the laptop• Turn it backward• Check at the bottom• Turn it on

• Time spent : approx 10 minutes

• Lets use powershell• Run the cmdlet Get-WmiObject win32_ComputerSystemProduct | select Vendor,Version,Name,IdentifyingNumber,UUID

time saving• To Find installed RAM serial number and bank

• I am sure you know the procedure.

• Lets use powershell• Run the cmdlet get-WmiObject win32_Physicalmemory | select Caption,SerialNumber,BankLabel,Capacity,DeviceLocator,PartNumber,Speed

time saving• To check the current Static IP of the internet.

• Open www.whatismyip.com• It take some time and shows lots of unwanted

advertisements.

• Why not to use powershell.• The script just takes 4 seconds to complete

Why not to, create our own “toys” as per our needs ;)
