When I talk to people about Powershell they often ask how can they easily learn the syntax. Here’s a good tip Open PowerShell ISE and press CTRL + J You will find a number of snippets that will enable you to write your scripts easily. Johnathan Medd PowerShell MVP has written a good post about snippets on the Hey, Scripting Guy! blog so I will not repeat that but suggest that you go and read that post.
