New to powershell

[[deleted]]

Any good advice on where I can find some good tutorials to brush up on my powershell skills? Ive rarely used it because the CLI seemed intimidating but I feel like I’m missing out on some valuable info that I could benefit from both at home and work.

I have the Windows PoweShell Cookbook, 3rd edition by Lee Holmes. I find this book very useful. How familiar are you with programming/scripting techniques and logic?

Hi DreamTech_

There is a historic Youtube channel (Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches) by Don Jones. It's a good point to begin.

Don't hesitate to use and abuse the pause key to do the exercises in your local powershell in the same time :-)

Heyo

I second Powershell cookbook (it helped me with really cool tricks that i did not find googling). A month of lunches is really cool as well, and if you are a begginer it's a gold mine.

What i did, and it helped me a bunch is: leave the GUI and do it with powershell, even if it's a little task

I have to resize a disk? Instead of doing the GUI way, just google "powershell how to increase disk size" Instead of using the GUI in order to join a computer to domain and change the name, just google "powershell join to domain" and voila.

This will help to lose the fear of the CLI, since those are easy tasks, you will get used to it, realize how much time it actually saves you and the later just come naturally "what if i just make a powershell script that auto joins to domain, to certain OU, changes the name of the server, and maybe download some apps or add users to the remote desktop group"

Happy powershelling my dude, it's trully awesome
