Windows PowerShell Scripts is a developed scripting language and has a rich expression parser. It is a task automation and a configuration management framework. A Script contains a launch point, a source code, variables and syntaxes with binding values. Scripts are of 2 types and their purpose is to help execute any extensive action with minimal effort. You can run a ready-made script on your system and a lot of your tasks can be completed in a jiffy with barely any user involvement. In short, you automate difficult or time-consuming functions to save time or maybe even increase the efficiency of your team.

What is Scripting and Automation?

The art of creating scripts that enable users to perform a variety of tasks is known as Scripting. When it comes to Automation- Many firms prefer it, not to reduce their staff count but because they want to do more with their existing staff. Scripts and Automation can save you a lot of time and reduce man-hours on repetitive tasks. The mundane tasks will not coincide with an employees’ routine tasks. The admin can run a script and operate and execute a single operation for multiple workstations, at once.

Enable Automation via Scripting — The high-level benefits

· You can automate your mundane IT tasks

· Scripts can save and buy you a lot of time

· Increase employee productivity- More time means your employees can focus on work that’s needs more attention

· Reduce Manhours on repeated tasks

Perks of enabling Automation via Scripts

Let’s assume there’s an XYZ Organization that has a staff of 100 people, and there is a need to install a particular software on all of the systems present in the network. Sending a link to all the staff and asking them to install it by themselves, can coincide with their routine work. In spite of it being urgent, maybe some of them delay it for a later time and forget to install. In a situation like this, Scripting could be your perfect solution.

The script- Application Installation lets you do that. This script can be modified according to your organizational needs; one has to change the URL and name the software they want to install. Run the PowerShell script and it will install the software silently causing zero interruption to the users.

Here’s another one — Assume that XYZ Organization wants to clean up all temporary files and junk files from each and every user’s system, XYZ can execute the action, at once by running the Disk Drive Cleanup Script.

You want to automate and streamline the entire process of Outlook Profile Creation, well that is possible too through the Outlook Profile Creation Script- It will run on the user machine and create a new profile in “O365”. The app then closes and reopens with the new user profile.

The DKIM/DMARC/SPF script lets you check whether DKIM/DMARC/SPF records are created for each of your tenant’s verified domains.

These are just a few of the many functions a script can enable for you and your organization. There are scripts that let you check the Microsoft Customer Agreement for each user in the tenant. There is a script that lets you check the status report of Multi-factor Authentication being enabled in all the users in the O365 tenant and a lot more.
