Manageability and Automation Overview

Title

Windows PowerShell 3.0 provides more features to allow more activities to be automated across the server ecosystem

Windows Management Framework provides a common platform for building automation and integration incorporating PowerShell, WS-Management and WMI

MULTISERVER MANAGEMENT

ECOSYSTEM AND EXTENSIBILITY

Server Manager enables a multiserver management experience that builds on the standardized approach to management and robust automation capabilities

Standardized interfaces and tools extend the interoperability with DevOps

Cross platform capabilities enable automation across the datacenter

Approach for Windows Server 2012STANDARDS-

BASED MANAGEMENT

10

Made WS-Management the default protocol for management

Adopt the latest Common Information Model:

Allows Windows clients to manage Linux/UNIX and standards-compliant devices and services

Allows Linux/UNIX devices to manage Windows


BASED MANAGEMENT

11

Simplify and lower the cost of:

Developing PowerShell cmdlets in native code, as CIM providers

Instrumenting services and devices for Windows—through Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) providers

Use SMI-S to manage external storage arrays:

Standards-based way to access and manage storage

SMI-S service in the box for easier storage discovery

19

ROBUST AUTOMATION

• Syntax simplification: Windows PowerShell 3.0 includes simplified, consistent syntax across all cmdlets

• Simplified scripting through Windows PowerShell ISE 3.0:

• Built-in code snippets include templates for functions, parameters, and statements

• Users do not need to remember the syntax

Simplified Scripting

20

ROBUST AUTOMATION

Snippets add reusable text to scripts and commands

• Simplified learning

• Get-Command has been updated to find all cmdlets installed on the system

• Cmdlets can be used immediately because modules are imported automatically on first use

Cmdlet discovery

# Start a remote session, disconnect, and close Windows PowerShell

PS C:\> $s = New-PSSession -ComputerName srv1 -Name LongSession

PS C:\> $job = Invoke-Command $s { 1..10| % {echo "Long running job - part $_"; sleep 5} } -AsJob

PS C:\> Disconnect-PSSession $s

name-value pairs in a Windows PowerShell data file to specify the configuration in a declarative manner

Easier to understand how a session configuration is defined by inspecting the file

For most settings, it is

simpler than writing a Windows PowerShell script
