1) PowerShell Tutorials
a. Start a ServerA (or another Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine that is a domain
controller it probably doesnt matter for earlier exercises, but it will later). You may want to
install guest additions so that you can cut and paste to your VM.
b. Signon as Superman
c. Run Windows PowerShell ISE
or
You could use just the PowerShell command line, plus an editor like notepad++, note if your
scripts are not local then also run: set-executionpolicy unrestricted
2) Install guest editions.
Share a folder from your host PC to your VM (VBox Manager | ServerA | Settings | Shared Folders).
Copy the following files from the Moodle to you host PC and then to you documents folder on
ServerA:
customer_feedback.txt
new_users.csv
Note: you could get the files onto ServerA by visiting the Moodle from ServerA, but you need to
demonstrate competent use of virtualization software.
3) Write and paste here a piece of code that:
Changes directory to you documents folders. Hint: use the variable $home

set-variable HOME "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents" force

4) Write and paste here a piece of code that:
Reads the content of the customer_feedback.txt file into a variable called $lines . Hint: use GetContent

$lines="C:\users\administrator\Desktop\customer_feedback.txt"
5) Write and paste here a piece of code that:
Reads the content of the customer_feedback.txt file into a variable called $lines
Loops through all the lines in $lines and prints out each line

foreach ($name in get-content $lines) {write-host $lines $name}

6) Write and paste here a piece of code that:
Reads the content of the customer_feedback.txt file into a variable called $lines
Loops through all the lines in $lines and prints out each line
While still in the loop, splits each line by the | character and stores the result in a variable called
$fields
Hint: use Split
While still in the loop, print the value of the second field (ie the score)
7) Write and paste here a piece of code that:
Reads the customer_feedback.txt file and prints out only the favorable comments (where the score
is 9 or better).
