Yes, you should get a PowerShell 2.0 book. There are several ease of use enhancements.
For the basics, get Jones/Hicks "PowerShell: TFM, Second Edition". For hard-core, you gotta go with Payette (who is on the PowerShell team at Microsoft), "PowerShell in Action, Second Edition". But if you've never scripted, I wouldn't start with Payette. All IMHO. I have no financial connection to any of these people. :-) Regards, Michael B.

Our servers are, or are going to 2008 and R2, so should I go straight for Powershell 2.0, or would it matter much? Any books to recommend? I've never done any scripting, so I would need something to start at the bottom floor.
