Introduction to PowerShell for IT Professionals

£495 + VAT

Learn from ground up, from the basics from “what is a cmdlet?” through to discovering all about objects, modules and remoting to get the most out of these technologies.  Lots of hands-on exposure is the key to learning this technology, so students should have experience using the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe), but not necessarily PowerShell.
