SCENARIO
You are working as a server administrator at a consulting firm. Your client is a recent start-up
company based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Currently their environment contains only 35
employees. They will be doubling their staff in the coming months, and you will need to start
automating some processes that are commonly run. In the near future, they may be hiring an
intern for the system administration. As such, you will need to comment throughout the script to
identify the script processes. Please follow the task requirements below to help this company.

closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided
when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed
criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by
more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions
of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive,
etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are
uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
A. Create a PowerShell script named “prompts.ps1” within the “Requirements1” folder. For the
first line, create a comment and include your first and last name along with your student ID.
Note: The remainder of this task should be completed within the same script file, prompts.ps1.
B. Create a “switch” statement that continues to prompt a user by doing each of the following
activities, until a user presses key 5:

1. Using a regular expression, list files within the Requirements1 folder, with the .log file
   extension and redirect the results to a new file called “DailyLog.txt” within the same
   directory without overwriting existing data. Each time the user selects this prompt, the
   current date should precede the listing. (User presses key 1.)
2. List the files inside the “Requirements1” folder in tabular format, sorted in ascending
   alphabetical order. Direct the output into a new file called “C916contents.txt” found in
   your “Requirements1” folder. (User presses key 2.)
3. List the current CPU and memory usage. (User presses key 3.)
4. List all the different running processes inside your system. Sort the output by virtual size
   used least to greatest, and display it in grid format. (User presses key 4.)
5. Exit the script execution. (User presses key 5.)
   C. Apply scripting standards throughout your script, including the addition of comments that
   describe the behavior of each of parts B1–B5.
   D. Apply exception handling using try-catch for System.OutOfMemoryException.
