Virtual Labs

In this intermediate PowerShell course, you’ll go beyond the basics to build reliable scripts and automation tools. You’ll start by structuring your work with module manifests and argument completers, then organise functions and publish custom modules. You’ll practice navigating the file system with cmdlets and pipeline chain operators, parse text with regular expressions, and work with data from CSV and SQL. The course shows how to build cross‑platform scripts in Visual Studio Code, integrate with REST APIs, AWS Lambda, Azure services and other cloud tools, and automate administration tasks like Active Directory user and group management. Along the way you’ll explore object properties, error handling, debugging, unit testing with Pester, and writing user‑friendly CLI and GUI tools. By the end, you’ll be able to design, test and deploy PowerShell solutions that manage virtual machines, remoting sessions and infrastructure – making this training the easiest way to learn PowerShell.
