I just started using PowerShell to do things. Some co-workers were interested so we learned together. Eventually I had enough ‘buzz’ that I put together a presentation for the rest of the team on how to get started.

One of the tricks is to give people enough information on how to do something up front. Otherwise they are left with a cmd prompt and nothing to do.

Often when I talk to people about PowerShell they love the easy way of using dot net classes.

And when I tell them that they can do a windows.form application with powershell in 10 min, they first don’t belive me. But when I show them they just love powershell.

I use PowerGUI and Primal Forms when I demonstrate the power of PowerShell. It’s easy, fun and very powerfull.

It’s nice to show a network guy that It’s possible to make a GUI that will show the helpdesk what server or what router that is down when a user can use internet. And show him that this can be done in no time with icons too.

I will record a session on PowerShell, Windows.Forms and Active Directory for Microsoft TechNet Sweden this week. It’s a short screecast that will show how easy it is to make Windows.forms apps for the helpdesk.

I think we need to get everybody on that mantra. I also realized REDMOND magazine recently published an article I wrote about the significance of Windows PowerShell 2.0. http://redmondmag.com/articles/2010/01/01/powershell-2-why-it-matters.aspx

More fuel for the fire.

“It’s not a matter of if you will be using PowerShell, only a matter of when..” ….. very true. Though I just started with PS, but amazed with its possible usages…
