PowerShell in a Nutshell

Posted on January 26, 2012

This past weekend I did an online presentation for a friend of mine who teaches for ITT in Omaha, Nebraska. He wanted me to do a brief talk about what PowerShell is and show how to use it, especially for managing Active Directory. I probably went much longer than I needed but everyone seemed to get a lot out of it. The session was recorded via WebEx. I then transcoded the recording so I could get it up on YouTube. That's why the screen layout is a little funky and the audio is far from perfect. Still, I hope you find it useful. The presentation has a some slides but is primarily demo, including using the Microsoft Active Directory cmdlets.

    Hi jeffery!

    Yep I went thru the full hour and 12 minutes. GREAT JOB!!
    I have written lots of VB script and have 1 that 12 or 13 lines!
    But no more! PowerShell is the way to go.

    I want more. I’m not finding quality books in the local book stores.
    Do you have more videos?
