PowerShell Cheat Sheet

March 2015 EDIT:  Updated list of resources is available here.

I’m working on compiling a cheat sheet or two for PowerShell.  Why would I do this when so many exist?  No idea.  Is it messy and might it overlook important details?  Absolutely!  If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

• PowerShell Basic Cheat Sheet – Audience new to PowerShell, vaguely familiar with CLI and/or scripting
• PowerShell Cheat Sheet – Audience familiar with PowerShell, CLI and scripting

I would like to acknowledge the following sources which came in quite handy when putting the cheat sheets together.  If you haven’t already, you may want to bookmark/download/purchase these!  They will come in handy regardless of the cheat sheets you use or commands you memorize
