As Microsoft tends to substitute all command-line tools in favour of PowerShell equivalents for all kind of administration tasks, it may be useful to include Rename-Computer and Add-Computer in examples. For example:

Rename-Computer NEWNAME -Restart
(to apply NEWNAME computer name and restart system)

Add-Computer newdomain.local -Credential Administator@newdomain.local
(to join newdomain.local domain using Administator@newdomain.local account and restart system)

In any part of the book until this page told that are these options "Address Hash" and "Hyper-V Port".

It may be useful to include steps required for managing Windows Server 2012 servers in workgroups. For example, we should instruct WinRM to allow connections to remote workgroup server WIN2012A using following command:

winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="WIN2012A"}'

I think "Enable Virtual LAN Identification For Management Operating System" option requires more clarification.

It is used to associate Virtual NIC in Parent Partition (connected to Virtual Switch) with specified VLAN tag, i.e. all traffic sourced from Parent Partition will be marked with specified VLAN tag before transmission from Physical NIC.

We can also specify VLAN tag for Virtual NIC in Child Partition connected to the same Virtual Switch.

So, we can use one Physical NIC transmitting several isolated traffic streams. Physical NIC should be connected to Physical Switch port supporting 802.1q trunking.

I think an author should specify browser application name, because many browsers don't display connection progress to website and Internet Explorer might not be an application which user using for web surfing.

The note states that gTLD domains .com, .net and .org are hosted on root servers. But authoritative servers for domains .com and .net (a.gtld-servers.net to m.gtld-servers.net) use IP addresses different from root servers (a.root-servers.net to m.root-servers.net).

Also, DNS request to root servers for most popular domains (google.com, wikipedia.org) returns list of authoritative gTLD domain servers specified above (not list of servers authoritative for second level domain).

Also, I can't find information about the statement in Internet resources except Microsoft ones.

Please provide an example or additional details. Thank you.

the line of code starts

Import-CSV users finance.csv | foreach {New-ADuser.......

my query is about the word users after the Import-CSV as I am unsure what the "users" is for. its not a parameter for this command.

I have tried to recreate the scenario and cannot get it to work if I include the users. without it the import works.

the second part of the command using $_. does not fully work as well.
The method I used to get this to work was

$user = Import-Csv finance.csv | foreach ($account in $user) { New-ADUser -SamAccountName $account.SamAccountname -Name $account.name -Surname $account.surname -GivenName $account.givenname -Path "OU=research,DC=adatum,DC=com"}

The -AccountPassword does not work unless it is converted into a secure string first. - may be worth noting.
