I just want to learn PowerShell, I am daunted at all of the Lab configuration and understanding of building of virtual machines before I can even get started. I was looking for PowerShell for working with Office365 online (SharePoint, Teams and Azure AD) and this is more of systems admin course, so it might not actually be for me. Also, I am actually a woman and I am a little surprised at the assumption that it will be men (as I am assuming the reference to having a wife does not include women married to another woman) following this course. Anyway, I shall soldier on and see how far I can get.

Very good and great information.

By Henry B Chavez on 9/27/2020

By Rishi Khattry on 6/9/2020

I will go through the whole course

By Stephen Torruella on 5/25/2020

So far the intro into the course is an amazing start and has a clean and easy to follow format.

By Rodel Santos on 5/15/2020

Excellent tutorials. Helps a lot!

By Sriram Venugopalan on 4/26/2020

Its a good start till now..

By Maryellen D Davis on 4/26/2020

I have experience with PowerShell but am always looking to learn more. Section2 is more applicable to those with some experience. The entire course is well done. One comment, at the beginning of the course you are advised to setup a lab. I expected to use the lab in the course, however it was never used in the course presentation. It's great to have a lab to practice, but it should be made clear it is not a requirement to complete this course.

By Philippe Simard on 4/24/2020

Thorough explanations. Moving at a good pace in the first half, a little fast in the second half. Mostly easy to understand, but the second half content is definitely not beginner material.

By Lasse Bondo Nellemose on 4/22/2020

Good and clear explanations - and best of all... You are not talking too fast, which many of other instructors do unfortunately. This is a very important factor when you are new to something, and you really want to proceed.
