I was trying to find PS tutorials to give to our entry-level devops engineers. Your series is perfect because it doesn't assume prior knowledge and it gets you up and scripting quickly
Tech schools teach this for there basic sys admin associate degree.
TechThoughts, I really appreciate these videos. I have been searching for powershell vids for months now and this is the BEST I've come across. Thank you, man. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
I can only echo with Lowin praising your work, thank you!
3 years late and this is still a fantastic and helpful resource. I'm on a deadline (self-imposed) to learn a bunch of things within the next 15 days and easily explained videos like this help so dang much. Thank you so much
I love the "I leave this as an exercise for the reader"
At 6:46 the -Online parameter also works with Windows PowerShell and I believe macOS. Many thanks for the video, this was the exact refresher I needed! :)
Thank you. Concise and explained in a way that we beginners can understand.
Awesome video! You managed to put a lot crucial concept in easy to learn structures. Thank you
Amazing introduction to PowerShell. Thank you!
Great! Now I finally begin to understand PowerShell! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful introduction, thank you.
Thank you! It was easy to understand and follow. Keep up the great work!
There are many PS Tuts out there. I haven't found one has explanatory, ground-level, well-explained like this. I'd always bragged about Bash and all its jazz, I think you might be making me see the light as well as others with this PS series. Thanks a lot
With Love from Nigeria
Great video. Very good explanation. Thank you very much. It helped a lot.
Thanks a lot! Wanted to take my IT skills to the next level. Need to learn how to navigate powershell. Much appreciated. Subscribed Sir!
I watched six videos before this one, and I felt the need to let you know this:
I *love* how you explain.
I also love how the explanation flows, how your voice is steady and calm and how fluent the explanation itself is: I can deduce you scripted it, which is why I love this tutorial so much! Because there's thought behind it!
As someone whos just starting to study IT, its great to see the tools id be using are actually way more accessible than they seem! I was afraid itd take months to get a base of understanding on command prompt and powershell xD
This is very good and the video production is very good. I'm going to watch more.
Thanks. Was really having hard time understanding some basic concepts and this video helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
This is such a fantastic video. So brilliantly succinct and helpful. You really thought of how you could deliver the best value of information in the least amount of time. So well done. Subscribing for more.
Good stuff, the tips you have provided are spot on, very easy to get and understand the idea, thanks
Thanks for the awesome video, very helpful.
We love you!! Thanks!!!
Great intro. Thank you.
Get-command
Get-help
get-member
I'd personally add Get-Module
Thank you very much for this video :) It was very helpful!
Well explained bro! Much appreciated 👍🏽👌🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Great job and thanks...
it's useful.thanks.
Very good... A good teacher always teaches the student to be independent and creative. :)
Thank you! 😃
Hi, I am learning powershell and I have to admit that those are great videos.
Hey, thanks!
Excellent
simply good one
Great video! Exactly what I needed, so I suubed for everything powershell related.
Quick thought : Everyone on You Tube maximized the terminal or ide or ise. But problem is wether the viewer needs to stop the video or enter fullscreen or change the volume etc => all this pop up the You Tube's information display (play, sound, etc. at the bottom and video info at the top) => hence the commands your showing/typing or everything at the bottom (like coratana search) get in conflict with the You Tube overlay.
I hope my expression is clear. The idea is not put the app maximized but slighty more like it would be manage by a tilling wm, meaning with space around.
Very helpful
Thank you very much !
Glad it helped
Great stuff
very helpful thanks for sharing this video i'm also an IT
Great! I could be or look like a pro after learn ur video
thank you sir
Awesome thanks for the help
Happy to help
Tech is wonderful 😊
It really is!
thank you
It would be a big help if you could magnify the output in ps. Its difficult to see the commands your typing as well as the output. Thanks for the video though. Its very good information and you did a great job explaining it. 👍
***SUMMARY OF THE TUTORIAL***
what are cmdlets?
commands in powershell use a verb-noun structure
get-timezone: verb - get, noun - timezone
set-timezone: verb - set, noun - timezone
this will search for a command using string matching
get-command *
-> can use wildcards
get-command *process*
will update help files to latest
update-help
documentation and usage of a command
get-help stop-process
get-help stop-process -examples
we can use pipelines to inlet the output of first command to input of second command
get-date | get-member
get-member returns the typename and methods for object that is being returned
this will format the output in a list format for better readability
get-date | format-list
this will find a module in powershell that we can use, searched via -tag
find-module -tag telegram
When I completed reading this comment, I knew the guy is indian. smartboi
Be careful about that part:
get-command process
process should be written as asterisk process asterisk; youtube comment made it bold and those asterisks diminished
good
What command would you use to restart a service on your computer?
nice video. first time seeing PS and it scares me when I hear you talking about objects and methods :). Sounds like OOP to me
PowerShell of course has it's roots in .NET. It's a language for making operations easier though, not harder. Working with objects is fairly straightforward - it's just an object that contains a lot of data properties. You can use methods, or just stick with cmdlets. It can be as dev heavy, or not as you like!
It is OOP. But that's a good thing in this case. I'm not a big fan of OOP, but for something like this, it is welcome because the methods and properties of objects are all there for the using. I am surprised I don't see more comments and likes/dislikes. This is very helpful. I usually work on Linux and use bash, but I have some work to do in Windows and I think PowerShell will be the ticket for getting my work done.
10:29 for quick summary
Get-command ; get-help; get-member. Ty on the overview
Set;stop;start
Hey Your video's are awesome. i would need a scrip to put a report from windows server update services whether the patches are installed or not installed. it should export all the computers/ groups /patches and separate that in csv file , could you please help on it?
Very helpful. Good video quality but you need to improve audio. Overall though good. Thanks.
lol first thing i did was ls and tbh i am now wondering what commands cross over.
👍👍
Show-command
TekThots ftw
Thank you for this video. I found a free video series on PowerShell and started watching yesterday, but it isn't for the beginner, so in searching for beginner PowerShell material, I found your videos.
I have a question regarding entering these individual commands. I noticed at the beginning of this video, as you typed the commands (Get -Command, Get - Help), you were typing all lower case, and it looked like it auto corrected to upper case for the first letters. Then when you got to the third command (Get - Member), you typed "get - date" (lower case), but it didn't correct to upper case letters, and the command still worked.
So actually two questions: Do you have auto correct that changes your commands to upper case? Why did the first two commands need upper case, while the third did not?
Thank you,
Marc
Great questions.
PowerShell supports something called IntelliSense. This enables auto-completion and auto-correction of cmdlets. This is triggered with the TAB key.
So a common tactic is to start typing something like: Get-Ser (and then click tab)
You can click tab multiple times and in this example, it will find all cmdlets that start with Get-Ser
If you type get-service and then click tab, IntelliSense will auto-correct to Get-Service.
PowerShell is not a case sensitive language, so get-date and Get-Date have no difference in the way they operate.
It is a best practice to type things in their correct case, but you could write everything in lower case and it would work just fine.
@@Techthoughts2 Thank you for the explanation. I couldn't see if you were correcting to upper case or if it was automatic. Good to know about the Tab feature, that will certainly come in handy.
How do the capabilities of PS on windows compare to those of PS on linux?
Is it wrong to assume that the majority of the commandlets aren't supported?
There are definitely fewer cmdlets for Linux, but this is constantly improving. For most - PS is just another shell on a Linux device that has additional (growing) capabilities. I talk about this some more in Video 3 PowerShell history: th-cam.com/video/a2qzz_WM9Dg/w-d-xo.html
5:22 Can you explain us how to solve that issue?
Because I run it, it says:
Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'ConfigDefender, PSReadline' with UI culture(s) {en-GB}
And then the same thing about the HelpInfo XML file that cannot be retrieved -for my culture being UK-.
Same
Could you help me? What is the difference between Get-Date | Format-List * and Get-Date | Select-Object *. Thanks
There is a pretty big difference! Try this:
$a = Get-Date | Format-List *
$b = Get-Date | Select-Object *
$a | Get-Member
$b | Get-Member
@@Techthoughts2 thnaks

how long does it take to learn enough powershell for a work environment
I think about 6 months.
I recommend starting off with something simple that takes a lot of your manual time.
Don't try something that is really complex first off.
Try to explore your workday and identify something you think will be easy to automate, that takes up a good chunk of time.
Try to automate it.
If you succeed, this will free up MORE TIME.
And you can use that time to automate the next thing!
Which will free up more time!
Which will allow you to automate a lot!
so basically powershell is a fancy and upgraded CMD?
Hi Sir! Hope all is good. Just wanted to ask how do you quickly go to a child directory without typing all the parent directories with the absolute path method. I believe before you can use the Drive:/~ / target using the ~symbol as a wildcard if I'm not wrong. Because I have a working folder which is on a folder structure with too many parents and I want to change directories quickly without having to type all of the parents above. Below is my folder structure. I would know if a shortcut is possible in Powershell without having to type all parents. Something like this F:/~ /24NODE JS but this is not working
F:\TO STUDY\WEB DEVELOPER\WEB DEVELOPER BOOTCAMP\AON_WEB DEVELOPER BOOTCAMP Colt\24 NODE JS
Good-day, I just figured-out MS Storage Spaces in Windows10. Now I just want to SSD cache my external USB HDDs under Windows10. I finally found someone who figured-out how to using Powershell. In-theory now all I have to do is focus on his ~10 lines of Powershell cmds. I'm still trying to find a Powershell expert to set it up though. I hoping that expert is you. Thks
Tiered Storage Spaces Windows 10 linustechtips.com/main/topic/925425-tiered-storage-spaces-windows-10/
"First I use the Storage Spaces GUI to create a new pool and storage space, selecting all 4 2TB standard SATA hdd's (3x 2TB WD Green Cavier's at 3Gb/s 5400 RPM and 1x 2TB WD Red 6Gb/s so it drops to 3 GB/s to match the other 3 and I include the 1 single 120 GB SSD which is a Intel® SSD 520 Series. In the GUI I'm forced to create the Storage space for the pool, so I just accept my defaults and click create storage space. I then delete that storage space, keep the storage pool but rename it to "mypool".
I then ran these commands in powershell:
Get-StoragePool mypool | Set-ResiliencySetting -Name Simple -NumberOfColumnsDefault 1
Get-StoragePool mypool | Set-ResiliencySetting -Name Mirror -NumberOfColumnsDefault 2........"
Excuse me, what do properties and methods of objects mean ?
Properties *are facts* about the object, methods *do things* (usually on the object, but sometimes it is the object doing things to something else). The classic analogy is that if you have a Car object, Car.Color would be a property while Car.Start-Engine() would be a method.
Is there any benefit knowing Powershell that will boost your career in any wa?
Yes - significantly so.
PowerShell can help you automate efforts across Windows, Linux, Hyper-V, VMware, AWS, Azure, and more.
The ability to automate, and solve problems through code is a high sought skill in today's technology market.
Does PowerShell have the Sudo command?
Not exactly. It's discussed at length here: github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3232
On a Windows device you would run PowerShell as an administrator.
On a Linux device you could launch PowerShell using sudo powershell.
@@Techthoughts2 ok I'll do more research. Thank you for the video!
You taught me to fish🙏🏼
I am trying to stop a process based on path it is running from but not able to achieve that, can you please help?
$path = 'C:\Windows\system32
otepad.exe'
Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Path -eq $path} | Stop-Process
running 'Get-Update' fails all the time, impossible to follow thia approach /\
thanks. Your mic/audio needs fixing though.
Great stuff but yeah mic is not good.
Im new to all this. Ive been trying to figure out for 2 days now why my power shell says C:\WINDOWS\ system 32 when i run as admin. As opposed to C:\Users\"My user name" Can anyone please help me with this? Its driving me crazy.
Once you're in PS type " cd/ " and press enter. That should take you directly to where you want to be.
Noob question. Is windows powershell the same as powershell? My computer only has windows powershell. Thanks in advance..
They are very different! Check out my state of the shell video, it will break it down: th-cam.com/video/a2qzz_WM9Dg/w-d-xo.html
i recommend turning down the noisegate ur using, everytime you speak, the attack is too high
good video nevertheless
Thanks for the feedback. In subsequent videos I've made efforts to significantly improve the audio quality, especially around the noisegate.
Get timezone is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet
Get-TimeZone is a pretty standard cmdlet. What version of PowerShell are you running?
0:26
Me: Tries to get-member for split-path commandlet.....
Powershell: FU
I feel like I am a pro and can already create powerful PowerShell script on my own in just few minutes of watching this video
As a sound guy, it bothers me how his voice is overcompressed.
It bothers me too. This is one of the first videos I made and was still learning. Audio settings improved in subsequent videos.
@@Techthoughts2 wow, I didn't expect to get an answer :). Thanks, it convinced me to watch further parts. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your knowledge and you do a great job. All the best for you!
Great vulgarization
"Because this is using Get, we can infer that this is a read-only action". Then there's Get-Certificate :(
Yes. That's part of the PKIClient module. Module authors do not necessarily adhere to all PowerShell practices. So that's why I say infer, not explicitly trust. Native cmdlets will follow this behavior, but module authors can make Get verbs result in actionable items. Same goes for a function you download. If it's not part of native PowerShell, you should explore/test the code you run prior to running it in your production environment.
@@Techthoughts2 indeed. You'd expect Microsoft to at least adhere to the general rule that a Get command doesn't actually do anything though!
Loki doesn't want to do 'Get-Help' again.
Get not Git
the only powershell command you need to know is how to write a linux iso to a usb
Why would I put powershell on linux when linux has it's own command line? I dont like using technology that has shareholders or companies with share holders attached. Like: Windows, Unbuntu( Amazon ). Everytime I install on either of these OS I have to uninstall or disable something so my privacy and files can belong to only me. On Ubuntu lately after 16.04 there's been nothing but other rogue processes especially in Bionic Beaver( 18 and over ) to grab your programs or log files etc. These days when I download Ubuntu I have to send out a kill signal out everywhere to purge myself of of default programs looking to just grab peoples creativity.
PowerShell has a lot of community ownership and is completely open source: github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
At the end of the day PowerShell is just another shell that adds some great capability to your Linux toolbelt.
@@Techthoughts2 Well since you put it like that guess I'll try it. Thanks alot for the submitting video. I understand way better now.
So you ask questions you already know the answer to, to sound intelligent?
Ha ha tekthots
I want to like the content but a huge minus from me because of the constant "skipping through video to maintain constant youtuber talking" it's VERY noticeable for me
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
