In today’s fast-paced world, automation is key to efficiency. Whether it’s managing a large network of computers or performing repetitive administrative tasks, automation can save time and reduce errors. One powerful tool that has emerged as a favorite among system administrators is PowerShell, a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PowerShell’s capabilities can be further extended with Power Automate using the ITautomate connector. This combination allows users to create workflows that can execute individual PowerShell commands or complete PowerShell scripts on remote devices or on cloud processing agents. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to use PowerShell Script Actions in Power Automate with the ITautomate connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Create a New Workflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First, you’ll need to create a new workflow in Power Automate. This is where you’ll define the trigger that will initiate the workflow. The trigger could be anything from a scheduled time to an email arrival or a file modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Log in to Power Automate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Click on “Create” and select the type of workflow you want to create.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Choose the trigger that will initiate the workflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Name your workflow and click “Create.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Add the ITautomate PowerShell Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Next, you’ll add the ITautomate PowerShell action to the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Click on “New Step” in the workflow editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Search for the ITautomate “Issue PowerShell Command” action in the ITautomate connector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select the action and add it to the workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
