Microsoft PowerShell – commands, modules and automation

Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

Confident start with PowerShell - You will understand how PowerShell differs from traditional CMD and when it is the better choice for administration. This helps you pick the right tool faster in everyday system work.

Reliable command-line work - You will learn how to read command syntax, find the right cmdlets, and use built-in help effectively. This lets you solve tasks on your own instead of guessing commands and parameters.

Using modules effectively - You will learn how to install, import, and use PowerShell modules. With that skill, you can quickly extend your environment with ready-made features for administration and automation tasks.

Effective pipeline usage - You will work with objects passed through the pipeline, filter results, and select the data you actually need. This helps you build short, efficient commands instead of many manual steps.

Practical use of variables - You will learn how to use variables in everyday tasks to store data and reuse it in later commands. This makes your scripts easier to read, easier to maintain, and more flexible in practice.

Task automation with scripts - You will create your own scripts for repetitive administrative and operational work. This will help you save time, reduce manual errors, and complete routine tasks much more efficiently.

Managing files and services - You will practice creating, copying, moving, and deleting files, working with folders, and handling processes and services. This makes everyday administration in the operating system easier.

Remote administration and troubleshooting - You will learn the basics of PowerShell Remoting and how to diagnose issues in commands and scripts. This gives you more control over remote systems and speeds up problem resolution.
