Each topic has its own 'how to' instructions and also 'Learning points'.  As a result you will be able to modify my examples to suit your situation.  The only pre-requisite is that you must download the correct version of PowerShell and .Net Framework for your operating system.  Microsoft's site has separate versions of PowerShell for XP, Windows Server 2003 and Vista.  In the case of Windows Server 2008, PowerShell is built-in but you need to 'Add Feature'.
