This is the Powershell section of our site.
Without being a true programing language, Powershell is extremely powerful. This is one of the tools we want to use. If you are lazy, and do not want to run repetitive tasks, once and again, then you need to automate.
PowerShell for Windows Server Administration
PowerShell has become the backbone of modern Windows Server administration. Whether you’re deploying Domain Controllers, managing group memberships, or automating patch compliance, PowerShell provides the flexibility, control, and scalability required in today’s hybrid infrastructure. At EguibarIT, we focus on applying PowerShell not just as a scripting tool, but as a strategic enabler for secure, compliant, and efficient IT operations especially in environments where GUI access is limited or non-existent, such as Windows Server Core editions.
Windows Server Core, designed for minimal overhead and reduced attack surface, presents a unique challenge for system administrators: the lack of graphical tools means automation is not optional it s mandatory. Our PowerShell content and modules are specifically built with this reality in mind. You ll find examples and solutions that are tested and proven in headless deployments, Hyper-V hosts, RODCs, and hardened DMZ systems.
This section of EguibarIT.eu hosts in-depth articles, practical scripts, and custom modules aimed at simplifying routine maintenance and improving system hygiene. From cleaning up stale user profiles to rotating service account passwords, the goal is to help admins adopt secure-by-default practices while minimizing manual effort. All content is aligned with real-world enterprise needs, focusing on reliability, reproducibility, and clarity.
We also cover advanced topics like delegated administration via PowerShell, Group Managed Service Account (gMSA) provisioning, and enforcing least-privilege models at scale. These are critical topics in Active Directory environments, especially as organizations move toward zero trust principles. Our guides provide actionable steps and downloadable resources to help you embed these concepts into your automation pipelines. Whether you’re managing 5 servers or 500, the right PowerShell patterns can drastically reduce configuration drift, accelerate recovery, and standardize operations across teams. If you’re an IT infrastructure professional looking to take your server management to the next level, this section will provide the guidance and tools needed to achieve just that.
We invite you to explore, adapt, and contribute. Each article is written by practitioners with decades of experience in Windows Server ecosystems, and we welcome your feedback and collaboration. PowerShell is more than a tool it’s a mindset.
Here we will try to give some examples on how and what to automate.
