1 00:00:02,710 --> 00:00:08,370 In this demo, we will see how some PS drive adds custom parameter 2 00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:12,900 based on the type of data that is being accessed in that drive. 3 00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:17,740 We'll then see how some PowerShell module or snap‑in adds an 4 00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:21,940 additional PS drive automatically. 5 00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:25,620 We earlier talked about CodeSigningCert parameter that shows 6 00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:29,740 up only while we are in cert PS drive. 7 00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:35,680 Currently, I'm in C drive, which is a file system drive. I'll now enter 8 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,040 Get‑Item command and switch through available parameters. 9 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:49,120 As I keep switching, we can see that the CodeSigningCert has still not appeared. 10 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,880 I'll now change the PS drive to cert using Set‑Location command and then enter 11 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,930 cert: PS drive. Now I'll again enter same command, 12 00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:07,540 Get‑Item, and switch through available parameters. 13 00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:13,540 We can now see that the CodeSigningCert parameter is now available. 14 00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:17,320 This is an example of how the set of available parameters 15 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,910 for a command may get changed depending on the drive in 16 00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:24,240 which the command is being executed. 17 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,230 We will now see how an additional Active Directory PS provider gets added when 18 00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:35,080 we install RSAT module for Active Directory. RSAT is the abbreviation of Remote 19 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,510 Server Administration Tools. From the name itself, 20 00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:41,790 you can guess that it's a collection of tools that are used to 21 00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:47,140 administer remote computers. Installing RSAT will install required 22 00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:51,220 snap‑ins and PowerShell modules which are required to manage roles 23 00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:53,940 and features of remote computers. 24 00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:57,580 I'll quickly show you how we can install RSAT tool for Active 25 00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:02,140 Directory on Windows 10. I'll first go to Settings, 26 00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:06,640 click on Apps, go to Optional features, 27 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,920 click on Add feature, and in the search box, I'll type RSAT. This will list 28 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:18,490 RSAT tool for different server roles. For this demo, we are interested in RSAT 29 00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:24,380 tool for Active Directory. I'll select it and click on Install. The RSAT tool 30 00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:28,980 will install Active Directory PowerShell module which will enable us to connect 31 00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:30,960 to Active Directory PS drive. 32 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,720 Remember that your machine needs to be a member of Active Directory domain to 33 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:44,270 connect to ADPS drive. So we are back in our demo, and now I have installed 34 00:02:44,270 --> 00:02:50,860 RSAT tool for Active Directory on this system. First, I'll run Get‑PSProvider 35 00:02:50,860 --> 00:02:55,740 command and we can see that the default providers that were available earlier 36 00:02:55,740 --> 00:03:02,980 is displayed on the screen. Since I now have RSAT tool installed, I can 37 00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:10,020 import Active Directory module. Once I do that, I'll again run Get‑PSProvider 38 00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:16,100 command, and now we can see that Active Directory PS provider got added and 39 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:24,170 its associated AD drive is also listed in drive's column. I'll now enter into 40 00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:32,500 AD drive using Set‑Location command and run Get‑ChildItem command. This will 41 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:39,580 list AD partitions. I can enter any of this AD partition and get details of 42 00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:46,540 AD objects present in that partition. I'll use Set‑Location command and enter 43 00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:48,940 domain partition. 44 00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:59,000 Once I'm in, I'll run Get‑ChildItem command and the list of immediate OUs present in that domain will get listed.
