from That IT show · host thatitshow
In this episode, we will explore the problems and inconsistencies of PowerShell and its ability to crash Active Directory for some unknown reason. We consider PowerShell to be a very powerful tool that can greatly simplify system administration tasks, but its unpredictable nature can lead to disastrous consequences, like complete Active Directory crash. Furthermore, to illustrate the inconsistencies of PowerShell, we will examine examples of Hyper-V and its integration with PowerShell. We will demonstrate how even small variations in PowerShell commands can have a significant impact on Hyper-V administration.
