Experiment with PowerShell V1 Without Installing It

If you are reading this, you probably already use PowerShell but you might know someone that has resisted installing it and trying it out.  Thomas Lee posted a blog HERE with a pointer to a Virtual PowerShell lab on TechNet. This allows you to Terminal Serve into a hosted virtual machine and kick the tires. In other words you get to run PowerShell without installing it.

Once they are done – they can install it.  :-)

I didn’t know anything about this but we should try to get them to do this with V2 CTP3 – that would be cool.

Thanks for the pointer Thomas!

# re: Experiment with PowerShell V1 Without Installing It

I assumed the PowerShell team had done this.

You guys should definitely talk to TechNet folks and see if you can get a HOL up on TechNet for CTP3.

And note that whilst you are running the lab, you have a fully functioning server that you can play with. You don't have to stick to the HOL script - you have the full time to play. Sadly, there's no network there, or a DC/SQL/Exchange server to play with, but that's worth asking for.

I agree but would like it to also include a section on internationization.
