PowerShell Essentials

This 5 day course is intended for students who need to learn the essential PowerShell skills required to automate day to day management and administration tasks in a Microsoft Windows Server/Client environment.

Being concise and hands-on, it is aimed at quickly getting students familiar with PowerShell terminology and concepts, and in getting productive with the powerful automation features available through this modern scripting technology.

In addition to looking at all of the core components of PowerShell, the concepts introduced throughout the course are augmented with plenty of practical hands-on exercises.

Although many of the skills learnt can be applied to managing local computer systems, coverage is also provided in how to remotely administer multiple Windows based servers in a network environment.

While delivery is based on a PowerShell 5 platform, almost all of the course content is relevant to both PowerShell versions 3 and 4, enabling attendees familiar with any recent Microsoft Windows operating system to leverage the considerable functionality PowerShell provides.

Students are not expected to have prior scripting or programming experience, although this might occasionally prove beneficial.This course is fully customisable and can be tailored to include only the material required.

Prerequisites

Students should be familiar with working in a Microsoft Windows Server/Client operating system environment, and possess previous administration skills and hands on experience. No previous knowledge of PowerShell is assumed.
