Introduction and Getting Started

PowerShell is a vast product, especially when you take into account how it's used in other products such as Lync Server, Exchange, and the Windows Operating System.
It can be a little daunting to those new with PowerShell - there is a vast array of deeply technical discussions of all of PowerShell's many aspects, quirks and
peculiarities and all. So start at the beginning, and learn the basics, either on you own, or possibly with the aid of a great training class. Then work with it and return to
find more. And when you can, how about adding to the body of knowledge referenced here.

Purpose of this Document
The purpose of this document is to help you to learn more about PowerShell and to be successful in applying it. This document seeks to point to the best content on
the web to enable you to reach that goal.

Scope of this Document
This page contains links to help you learn more about Microsoft Windows PowerShell. This includes PowerShell fundamentals as well as how PowerShell is used in
Windows applications and services. As long as it's PowerShell related, we'll try to point to it! The document is also version agnostic, and contains information about
current and future versions of PowerShell.

Learning PowerShell Fundamentals
This section includes a list of pointers to guides that show you how to get started with PowerShell. For a more general list of sites that simply talk about PowerShell
you should take a look in the "Essential PowerShell Resources Section".

Essential PowerShell Resources
Getting The PowerShell Product
You get PowerShell, either fully loaded as a part of Window 7/Server 2008 R2 or later, as an add-on (eg Server 2008 RTM that enabled you to load PowerShell Version
1) or as an OS Patch.
Windows Management Framework 3.0
- Windows Management Framework 3.0 makes some updated management functionality available to be installed on
Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 & Windows Server 2008 SP2. Windows Management Framework 3.0 contains Windows PowerShell 3.0, WMI &
WinRM.
Windows PowerShell Version 2.0
- Windows PowerShell Version 2 is installed with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 (although with the server core installations,
it's not installed by default). For all other versions of Windows (on which PowerShel is supported), you need to download the appropriate package and install it.
The download includes Windows PowerShell Version 2 and WinRM 2.0.
PowerShell 2.0 SDK - The Windows PowerShell 2.0 SDK provides the reference assemblies needed to write cmdlets, providers, and hosting applications, and it
provides C# sample code that can be used as the starting point when you begin writing code.

**I changed the title from a brand-based (Survival Guide) title to a task=based title to observe the effect on page views and discoverability. This particular experiment
