For a better knowledge of the powershell world, take this course. You may learn about the powershell's capabilities with this course.

I enjoyed this course as it was exactly what I needed and was immediately useful in my job. I would enjoy seeing more examples in this same area of active directory. Perhaps slightly more complex query strings.
By Dan Enache on 6/6/2018
The course is really interesting, but it can be improved: 1. Each time you run an action (user accounts creation, computer accounts moving, etc), please show the state in the user interface BEFORE and again AFTER running the code, in order to be more persuasive. 2. Alternatively, you can use more frequently or each time, PowerShell commands in order to see the same information which it has been seen in the user interface. Some of the actions have implemented this type of demonstration, but I think that almost all of them must be explained in this way.

Very useful PowerShell course for Active Directory. Plenty of handy examples demonstrated.

So far I have seen this before. However, there is more detail.

The instructor clearly shows all the concepts I need. Good instructor. Will continue buying his other courses.

Details on most common AD functions, instructor a little hard to understand for me but was able to understand concepts fully.

Achei o curso super interessante e funcional Minha única ressalva é com relação à legenda, pois é horrível
By Doug Jones on 12/12/2017
The first lesson jumped into powershell commands with no explanation. Very disjointed so far. I am hoping the next sections improve and provide more clarity. I have experience with AD and powershell, but this is still difficult to follow.
