Off the back of Eileen's post, I just couldn't resist a new ebook.
So Exchange Management Shell: TFM is a 386 page secured! PDF document, with the last 8 being adverts for Sapien Press!. The secured bit is a a major pain in the butt as you can't copy from the PDF doc. So a PDF ebook, that has code snippets becomes kind like a paper book and unusable to a degree as it prevents the nice easy copy, paste and run the script attitude of an ebook!
Any way apart from the copy & paste issue the books covers quite a lot. Here are the top level subjects
Just having a skim it looks like (now I might be doing it an injustice) a glorified get-help
get-help * | where {($_.pssnapin -like "*Exchange*")} | sort Name | foreach-object {get-help $_.Name -Full}
I do feel a bit cheated by this ebook. Maybe it's because I am not a Powershell newbie, I don't know, but I can't see any value add in this ebook .. sorry :-| Maybe it is better suited for a newbie
You are absolutely right, if you ar no Powershell newbie, and no Exchange 2007 newbie, you will definitely know everything that is in this book.
But, the reason for this book is to help Exchange and PowerShell "newbies" with the Exchange Management Shell cmdlets, by going over them and providing examples on how to use them.
