Powershell is extremely well-documented, and if you are a Windows Sysadmin or engineer, it is generally very safe to assume that the next person in your position or working on your script will also know Powershell.

It is not the best language for anything except Windows system administration, but even if you don't know it, it's relatively easy to modify someone else's script with some googling. It's not the best, but as a business tool that's pretty reliable, I would absolutely choose it over most other languages.

If you're not working in a Windows environment, then assume I have no idea what the gently caress I'm talking about. Hell, even in a Windows environment, I barely know what the gently caress I'm talking about.

I've done some scripting of windows sysadmin stuff in Python and it's really poor for this kind of thing, which makes sense, given that Python isn't really meant for this in the first place. It has a really hard time with accessing the registry or altering other windows system settings and it generally takes multiple lines of code to do things you can do with a single command in PS

You can do windows sysadmin stuff with Python but you should not. It's still really good to know Python!
