This hands-on workshop introduces IT professionals to PowerShell 7, Microsoft's powerful cross-platform automation framework. Designed for those new to PowerShell or with limited scripting experience, this intensive one-day session covers the essential concepts and practical skills needed to begin automating common IT tasks.

The workshop begins with PowerShell fundamentals, including the command-line interface, basic syntax, and the powerful pipeline concept that makes PowerShell unique. Attendees will learn to navigate file systems, query system information, and work with PowerShell's object-oriented approach to data. The session then progresses to writing simple scripts, understanding variables and data types, and using basic flow control structures like loops and conditional statements. Participants will also explore how to safely work with common administrative tasks such as managing files, services, and processes.

Throughout the day, hands-on labs reinforce each concept, giving attendees immediate practice with real-world scenarios. The workshop concludes with an introduction to getting help in PowerShell, understanding errors, and leveraging modern resources including AI-assisted tools to accelerate learning and troubleshooting. By the end of the session, participants will have written their first automation scripts and gained the confidence to continue developing their PowerShell skills independently.

This workshop is ideal for system administrators, help desk technicians, IT support staff, and anyone responsible for Windows or cross-platform environments who wants to work more efficiently through automation.
