IT administrators are being tasked with more and more. So one way to do more with less is to figure out ways to automate repeatable tasks. And that's where scripting comes into play.
If you're not familiar with scripting (or in this case, using PowerShell), don't worry. We're about to point you in the right direction to get you started, thanks to the folks at Veeam.
