We’ve come to nearly the end of this book, but it’s hardly the end of your PowerShell exploration. There’s a lot more in the shell to learn, and based on what you’ve learned in this book, you’ll be able to teach yourself much of it. This short chapter will help point you in the right direction.
First of all, if you are a database administrator, either by trade or by accident, we highly suggest you investigate dbatools, which is a free PowerShell module with over 500 commands that can safely and quickly automate all the tasks you need to do all the time. Like the PowerShell community, the dbatools community is inviting and engaging; you can learn more about them and the module at https://dbatools.io. The team behind dbatools has also written Learn dbatools in a Month of Lunches and you can read a free chapter from that book at http://mng.bz/4jED.
This book has focused on the skills and techniques that you need to be an effective PowerShell tool user. In other words, you should be able to start accomplishing tasks using all of the thousands of commands that are available for PowerShell, whether your needs relate to Windows, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or something else.
