Learning PowerShell using Microsoft Learn

This week, I posted a link to the PowerShell courses/learning paths on Microsoft Learn for PowerShell; I did that because there is so much material to learn from and use as a reference/help system. In this blog post, I will show you your options at Microsoft Learn to improve your PowerShell skills.

Create a multiple-choice quiz using PowerShell

Tomorrow I'm taking the AZ-800 (Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure) exam, and I wanted to create a simple test exam quiz for myself with multiple-choice questions.
