I'm finishing up a TechLab on Windows PowerShell for general admin exams (meaning I am leaving out application specific commands for Exchange, SharePoint, SQL, etc). I think it is a pretty descent intro for someone prepping for Windows 7 or MCITP: SA/EA but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what to add beyond the basics for practical purposes or what to add based on things they find/found difficult to grasp with PoSh.
Thank you!
Thank you!

That goes a bit beyond the scope of the article. But I will certainly look at adding a few labs about auditing file acces, logs, and AD. I think that is pretty practical stuff and I am a firm believer that examples should be practical.Bl8ckr0uter wrote: »Also what is the assumed background knowledge of the reader (as far as powershell is concerned)?
Zero. I start from configuring the shell for script execution and continue up to cmdlets, variables, control flow/logic (if, foreach, etc) and then touch on the basics of configuring profiles and code re-use (writing functions and modules). -
