Imagine you need to reproduce a complex test environment that consists of Windows Server and Client machines and requires several Active Directory Domains, DNS and/or DHCP roles installed on some of the server machines. How will you implement this in a way that is robust across all available versions, editions and languages of Windows Server? With the invention of PowerShell, Windows got command line usability and tools for local and remote management of Windows Server that allows tackling these kinds of problems. This presentation offers an approach that allows capturing a complex test configuration in an Xml file and executing a test scenario configuration using PowerShell scripting and PowerShell remoting
