The questions and answers were developed straight from Microsoft Technet and I have included the link.
Active Directory Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell™ is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration. This reference topic for the information technology (IT) professional introduces the 76 Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to manage and administer the Active Directory® directory service and Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

The purpose of this crossword was to hopefully introduce some reluctant Administrators to Powershell, especially those that administer Active Directory (AD).
You do not have to be a NASCAR or INDY racer to realize the benefits of being able to drive a car, so what are you waiting for when it comes to learning Powershell? Powershell will be a mandatory requirement in the very near future, if it is not already in your area.
If you find that Powershell can (will) make your life much easier, then I would highly suggest these links to open your mind and your world to Powershell.

Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches is an innovative tutorial designed for busy administrators. Author Don Jones has taught thousands of administrators to use PowerShell, and now he’ll teach you, bringing his years of training techniques to a concise, easy-to-follow book. Just set aside one hour a day—lunchtime would be perfect—for an entire month, and you’ll be automating administrative tasks faster than you ever thought possible.
Two new books to add today. Once again Aidan Finn has released yet another book.
Mastering Windows 7 Deployment
The Great Mark Russinovich has written a thriller, a fictional novel using his experience and knowledge of IT:
“Arab terrorists, with the collusion of Osama bin Laden, are behind the attack, which is supposed to destroy Western civilization. A New York City law firm enlists cyber expert Jeff Aiken to track down a virus that has knocked out the company’s computer network. While working on this problem, Jeff uncovers the larger threat. With the help of “stunningly attractive” Daryl Haugen, an old friend who becomes his love interest, Jeff attempts to warn the authorities, but to little avail”.
You can pre-order the book now on Amazon.com in paper and for Kindle. The expected RTM is March 15th, 2011.

I was asked about changing permissions from the root of a drive and all sub-folders. My immediate reaction was to use the Microsoft tool that replaced cacls – icacls. Apparently the person that came up with the new name ”must” have just received their new iPad. <g>
I remembered a Technet article from a friend Gregg Shields – http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.07.geekofalltrades.aspx
