Learning Powershell

[RabbieBurns]

Can anyone recommend any books / pages / tutorials about learning the basics of PowerShell, and perhaps also about managing Exchange with PowerShell ?

I've been using this Converting VBScript to Windows PowerShell because I know a bit of VBscript and this helps convert to PowerShell.

 

There's an awful lot of PowerShell which is completely different (the idea of piping objects through processes, for example) so I'm not making a huge amount of progress. I'd guess I ought to get a book and read it but it's not easy to find the time :-(

I learnt DOS batch files, and have dont a bit of bash scripting, but nothing else.. So Im starting completely blind..

The easiest way I found was to go to sites like this one: PowerShellCommunity.org > Home, grab code and have a look at it.

 

Once you've got the basic concepts down it all sort of slots into place and starts making sense.
