PowerShell from Zero to Advanced: Learning Guide (E-book)

Learn PowerShell from your very first command to advanced, safe automation and security scripting. This guide is written for complete beginners and for help desk and IT support staff moving into system administration. Every snippet is explained line by line.

What you will learn

• Work confidently at the PowerShell prompt: commands, help, the pipeline and objects
• Write scripts with functions, parameters, error handling and logging
• Work with files, folders, CSV and JSON
• Build reports, schedule scripts and run commands on other computers
• Audit users, services, event logs, permissions and patches safely

What is inside

• 79 pages in four parts: Foundations, Scripting, Real automation, Security and administration
• Exercises for every part, three working projects and full model answers
• A cheat sheet, a guide to reading errors, a glossary and an eight-week study plan

What you get

PDF (with a clickable table of contents) and ePub for e-readers. You get both files.

Script pack: every project from the book as a ready-to-run PowerShell file, plus the LabTools helper module, so you can copy code cleanly instead of retyping it from the page.
