Brilliant video – Shane makes it really easy to understand this stuff

IT Magic says:

Great job, Shane! Very helpful, and will be watching more! Thank you kindly!!!

Bodragon says:

Why have you mangled / edited the audio at 5:285:32?
There seems to be something weird going on here.
And when I think "weird", I think "dishonest"
Is it that you discovered, just like I did, the commands: "Start-Trace" and "Start-Transaction"?
Come on, mate.
Man up!

Nick Daniels says:

Very informative video, I plan to keep watching and learning. As a student in Information Technology, I can say you made much more sense in 27 minutes than a whole semester at school. Thank you!

RD Wakefield says:

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!

Handy Handy says:

Thank you for these Videos! Now I finally understand the difference between "Methods and Properties". 🙂

Super lesson!

Mad Macronex says:

I've used PS in previous jobs, but wanted to learn a bit more and get in depth in preparation for a new IT support position – this is an AMAZING refresher and an excellent guide, even taught me a couple things – will definitely continue to learn from you and you earned yourself a subscriber! 😀 Cheers!

On running with admin credentials: "You always want to turn PowerShell as an administrator, because it allows you to do… *everything*."
Gotta disagree with you there.  You should only run as admin when you absolutely must.  Even then, use – whatif wherever it is supported.  Test out the logic of scripts without admin credentials, even if the objects are only available to admins.  You will always have to take some risks — but minimize them.  Do not run as admin by default.  That's the Road to Hell.

Hello Shane, you mentioned there were a series of videos, I think up to 6, I have gone through 1 & 2 but cannot find 3,4,5… do they exist? – Thanks in Advance

Viraj Nimmagadda says:

Great intro video! It would of been a bit more helpful if there was an overview of what powershell is exactly and what it is used for in the big picture. Very informational video though!
