PowerShell for Windows and Linux Administrators Courseware (2023)

MicrosoftPowerShell

This instructor-facilitated, five-day course provides students with the necessary knowledge to successfully administer Microsoft Windows Server and Client operating systems and Linux operating systems using PowerShell. In this course, students are shown the use of PowerShell commands to create, modify, and maintain various components of Windows and Linux operating systems. This course leans heavily towards hands-on labs to reinforce concepts. Instructional time is minimized in favor of “learning by doing” via the labs. Instructors facilitate a high-level review of concepts, provide guidance for the labs, assist in answering questions or issues with the labs and provide input when required for the Challenge Labs.
