Learning PowerShell
Hello all,
What is the best way to learn PowerShell? I feel like I should know some basic knowledge to PowerShell. I've used it very lightly in my past in Exchange 2007/2010 scenarios but have drifted away since then (current company uses Exchange 2003 so its non-existant). Is there a book for learning this or any kind of lab for practicing commands? Or is this something you learn as you go. How should I begin learning this again?
Thanks for the input/advice in advance!

I only just started myself and this seems to be one of the better ones :

Easy to read / understand ...
Oh and one way to do that : Do everything you intend to do on a server / workstation through Powershell :PMy own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com

+1 to the Month of Lunches book. Although I haven't gotten it everyone I talk to recommends this book.
I was a bit reluctant a few years ago to learn PowerShell but it is a must now that everything is moving towards it. Came in very handy in my recent Lync Deployment. Also extremely helpful for Exchange 2007+ admin tasks. -
