About the Project

This repository contains a set of simple PowerShell scripts aimed at helping administrators streamline routine tasks in Windows environments. With a focus on ease-of-use and flexibility, they can be applied in various IT workflows.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To run these scripts, you will need:

• Windows PowerShell (version 5.1 or higher) or PowerShell Core.

• Administrative privileges, as some scripts require elevated permissions.

• (Optional) Modules like ActiveDirectory for specific tasks, which can be installed via:

  Install-Module -Name ActiveDirectory

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/gsmdt42/PowerShell.git

   cd PowerShell

2. Ensure that execution policies are set to allow the running of scripts:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Usage

Each script comes with documentation and examples within the file itself. Below is a general overview:

• Running a script: Navigate to the script's directory and execute:

  .\ScriptName.ps1 

• Running a script with parameters: Some scripts could include parameters for flexibility. For instance:

  .\ScriptName.ps1 -Parameter1 Value1 -Parameter2 Value2

• Scheduled tasks: To automate, use Task Scheduler or cron jobs (for PowerShell Core on Linux) to run these scripts periodically.
