Assignment Description

In this assignment, you will use the concepts provided throughout the PowerShell components of this

course to create a sample PowerShell script that can be used to perform three useful administrative

tasks. More specifically, this project involves researching and building a PowerShell script that

provides a useful function, leveraging script code available online and AI resources where appropriate.

Imagine, you are an IT administrator for your organization. Your duties include managing and

maintaining several network workstations and their related services. To save time and

simplify network management, you wish to explore the use of PowerShell scripts. This project is worth

$20\%$ of your final grade.

Activity Steps

$1.$ Select your own administrative tasks for this assignment. A sample set of tasks that you could use

include:

$-$Audit a series of workstations to ensure that a particular service is running.

$-$Audit a series of workstations to see whether a scheduled task has run.

$-$Generate a list of 'online' and 'offline' workstations within a network.

$2.$ At the conclusion of your project, you will hand in a report $($in Microsoft Word

format$)$ that contains the following elements:

a$.$ Purpose $($the purpose of your PowerShell script and why it is useful$)$

b$.$ Function $($the process and tasks that your PowerShell script performs in order$)$

c$.$ Usage $($the usage of your PowerShell script including any options and arguments$)$

d$.$ Script $($a copy of the entire script$)$

$3.$ You must email a copy of this report $($that includes your PowerShell script file contents$)$ to your

instructor by the end of the final day of the class. Keep a copy of your report

PowerShell script within your portfolio for use during a job interview. This report and
