PowerShell Pro-Windows Task Automation

Example

Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.CPU -gt 1000} | Stop-Process

Scenario

Generate a script to identify and stop processes consuming more than 1000 milliseconds of CPU time, which can be used to maintain optimal performance in server environments.

Example

Get-Content log.txt -Tail 1000 | Select-String -Pattern 'error'

Scenario

Optimize a script to read the last 1000 lines of a log file and filter lines containing the term 'error', improving performance and reducing memory usage on systems with large log files.

Example

$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server01; Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Update-Software}

Scenario

Create a script that establishes a remote PowerShell session, performs a software update on the remote server, and then closes the session, illustrating remote management capabilities for distributed systems.
