Hi everyone,

So I'm looking to learn PowerShell. I've had a look at some resources and came across:

https://www.udemy.com/course/powershell-51-and-6/

https://www.udemy.com/course/powershell-for-active-directory-administrators/

https://www.manning.com/books/learn-windows-powershell-in-a-month-of-lunches-third-edition

I was wondering if the above resources would be a good place to start learning PowerShell?

Also, I will require a "lab", so would a VM created in Hyper V be sufficient to use it as a playground for the courses? I would also need to install AD on that VM, but if I'm importing or modifying users in this VM, don't I need the data already? I'm a bit confused

Any advice is appreciated!
 
I've heard that book is very good starting point and there are tons of videos on youtube, you don't really need a lab to start just open the ISE and start trying some get- commands and look at the help system. If you want to create an AD lab then learning how to create users from csv files would be a good first step and would generate data for you to try other things with.

Yes I may purchase it, I have just purchased the Udemy course and will start that soon. It's got good reviews so hopefully it's good.

True, I did not think about CSV for creating a database to play with. Cheers!!
