    Thank you for providing an easy-to-understand tutorial with great examples. Like other commentors here I've looked at other sources to learn basic PS and this was by far the easiest to understand.

    I'm not a admin. I don't even work in IT. I just wanted to learn Powershell. I watched 30 mins each of 2 other video tutorials that claimed to be tutorials but were basically guys showing off how good they were in Powershell. I spent an hour and 3 commands were shown and not really explained. But this video here....15 mins in and I have learned enough to continue learning on my own if I had to and there is still like 15 more mins of video. This video paints a very clear picture. And I am having fun now rather than looking at "PS C:\> " and always having to copy paste something there I got from the internet. No more. I will learn this. This made it easy. Somebody get him a fruit basket...NOW!!...No?? I'm sorry bro....I couldn't get you a fruit basket. You totally deserve one though. In a nice basket. The basket matters. I liked the video though. Theres that at least. Thanks for posting this. Schooling mofo's since 2016

    My company pays for CBT nuggets, I spent 2 hours on their intro to powershell course the other day, you taught me more in 20 minutes than I learned in those 2 hours...great job!
  • @steveeyler
    If only I had found this before I wasted money on a udemy course. Learned more in the first ten minutes than I did with paid content. Well done!
  • @GuenterErde1
    I dont normally leave comments, but this is a top tier intro. Thanks!
  • @reesenva

  • @sarkartapask
    absolutely great video. I am scared of scripting but the way you are explaining it's helping. cheers. Great job.
  • @dhanessur
    First time trying to learn Powershell and your video was the perfect beginners guide. You've really explained things in the simplest form that's non intimidating to a beginner that finds Powershell overwhelming. Thank you for posting.
  • @funmidijo285
    Great video. I've been running scared of PowerShell for a while now but you not only make it easy, you make it very interesting. Can't wait to finish the whole series
  • @AsifMehedi
    Incredibly helpful. Before moving on to your next tutorial, just wanted to say thanks a lot for putting this together.
  • @hollyr8788

  • @HeDtraX
    10 minutes in...and feeling happy, intrigued. This video Helps! Thank You.
  • @iKyuubi1995
    5 years old and probably heavily outdated this series has still helped me get on the right direction of what im trying to do. Even if its several forks in the road ahead. It helps me start
  • @rdwakefield
    Thanks for the lesson. complete newbie here trying to learn PowerShell, was given a task to build a script to start and stop multiple services on remote machines, to pull from a list...hoping your lessons will give me a good place to learn as I'm about as green as a young shoot in grove amongst a aged forest. Thanks again!
  • @Lyricalxs
    As a System Admin,....this is one of the few things that I havent become proficient at. You've made it extremely easy for me. Thanks.
  • @Man-dk1vg
    Most of the powershell videos on YouTube right now are just people explaining for an hour how great powershell is. This video, however, actually taught me something
  • @danielm3977
    Shane , Hopefully you read this . I've never thought i could find a teacher on Youtube like Corey who explains everything as simple meanwhile comprehensive as possible. I've watched couple other videos about shell and command line but you are the best . I just felt to write here and say "Thank you " . God bless you
  • @CAWINC
    This was about 97 times easier to follow than pretty much any other Powershell "tutorial" I've found so far. Cudos Shane, and thank you!
  • Excellent job Shane. I've been messing around with Powershell, learning by looking at other people's scripts. Finally decided I should actually learn what I was doing. Your intro got me off to a great start. Looking forward to the next one.
