Course Description

This course provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to use PowerShell for administering and automating administration of Windows servers.

This course provides prerequisite skills supporting a broad range of Microsoft products, including Windows Server, Windows Client, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft 365.
