A co-worker and I are giving a lab session called "Beginning PowerShell for Windows Systems Analysis" tomorrow at the UC Davis IT Security Symposium.
Below is a link to the GitHub repo for the lab PowerShell scripts. The lab systems are Win7 so I had to go back to the PowerShell 2.0 way of doing things.
Since this course is a beginner session, I made most of examples one-liners. From doing the research for the lab, I was able to reduce my "Installed Applications" 40 line script down to 4 lines. Just have to appreciate the PowerShell Pipeline :)
