PowerShell is one of the most important skills for an IT professional to learn, especially if you work with Microsoft 365. If you’re not already learning PowerShell, then you’re falling behind the industry.
It isn’t difficult to learn PowerShell. In fact, if you’ve ever run commands in a cmd prompt then you’ll be able to start using PowerShell straight away.
