Just like command line kung fu is valuable in pen testing, as Windows products incorporate PowerShell, it too should be the focus of your fu.

PowerGUI is a graphical user interface and script editor for Microsoft Windows PowerShell for both PowerShell v1 & v2. Don't spam me because I'm listing a GUI tool. It's a great way to learn. Plus WinIT Pro Mag gave it a silver award last year, and there's a great article by Jeffery Hicks of Redmond Mag entitled PowerShell Without the Shell.

I'll have to learn power shell soon. So the videos and tutorials will probably come in handy.

I gotta learn it.  I am used to writing batch scripts and VBS scripts, that I haven't found the need for it.   Usually there is a project that forces me to learn something, but it just hasn't happened yet with powershell.
