Hey, all. I'm a systems administrator in a mixed environment. Use PowerShell a lot for automating various tasks, maintenance, etc.

Self-taught and been using PS for about 4 years now, daily.

Glad to see a community starting here!

That is exactly how I got my start in PowerShell too. Working as a sysadmin, if there was a task I had to do more than twice, I automated it. I started with VBS, and dabbled in PowerShell 2.0, then made the full switch when 3.0 came out. Haven't looked back since.

Yep, that's pretty much our little team! It's a small infra team for a decently sized organization so anything we can automate or avoid having to actually go RDP to, we do it in PowerShell. We actually spun up a PowerShell Universal instance recently to act as a central automation node and allow us to give some of the IT support staff access to fix certain things without really giving them any more access. Works great!
