Overview of this book

The Windows Server Automation with PowerShell Cookbook is back with a new edition, featuring over 100 PowerShell recipes that will make your day-to-day work easier. This book is designed to help you learn how to install, configure and use PowerShell 7.2 effectively. To start with, we’ll look at how to install and configure PowerShell 7.2, along with useful new features and optimizations, and show you how the PowerShell compatibility solution bridges the gap to older versions of PowerShell. We’ll also be covering a wide range of fundamental and more advanced use cases, including how to create a VM and set up an Azure VPN, as well as looking at how to back up to Azure. As you progress, you’ll explore topics such as using PowerShell to manage networking and DHCP in Windows Server, objects in Active Directory, Hyper-V, and Azure. We’ll also take a closer look at WSUS, containers and see how to handle modules that are not directly compatible with PowerShell 7. Finally, you’ll also learn how to use some powerful tools to diagnose and resolve issues with Windows Server. By the end of this PowerShell book, you’ll know how to use PowerShell 7.2 to automate tasks on Windows Server 2022 with ease, helping your Windows environment to run faster and smoother.

If you are using VMs for your DCs, you should also ensure that each DC VM is on a separate virtualization host – otherwise, the VM host is a single point of failure.

To add a second DC to your domain, you run Install-ADDSDomainController on another host, that is DC2. This cmdlet is similar to Install-ADDSForest in terms of parameters. It is useful to conduct tests to ensure the second DC’s promotion can succeed as with creating your first DC.

In this recipe, you promote a host, DC2, to be the second DC in the Reskit.Org domain. Like creating your first DC, after you promote DC2 to be a DC, you need to reboot the server before...
