I recently did an 'Introduction to PowerShell' presentation for some of my co-workers. The idea was to help them expose the them to the various elements of PowerShell and why they should start learning with it now.

The demo is geared to our environment but I think the presentation is basic enough to be useful for others. We have a decent sized VMware environment, which was really my starting point and hook for some co-workers in using PowerShell. For user management we leverage the Quest Active Directory tools.

I used Jaykul's mod of the Start-Demo script. I had to temporarily use the Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted to make it run. I really need to get a better handle on the security policy and start signing my stuff, even if it is only using a locally generated certificate.

I also included a script I wrote to generate a space utilization report. This was on the lines of saving future output in an array and then leveraging PowerShell output tools.

Enjoy. Feedback welcome.
