Techmentor Las Vegas 2013 Session Materials
I had a terrific time at Techmentor last week in Las Vegas. I did 2 3-hour sessions. The longer sessions are intended to allow speakers time to go deeper into content and offer more detailed coverage than what you might get at a conference like TechEd. From my informal survey of attendees, many people enjoyed…
Get Password Will Expire
During my Managing Active Directory with Windows PowerShell session at Techmentor Orlando, an attendee asked about finding when a user’s password would expire. He wanted to be able to come in on Monday morning and run a report to find whose passwords were going to expire during the week. I didn’t have the time to…
Techmentor Orlando 2011 Decks and Demos

TechMentor Orlando 2010 Decks and Demos
I had a great time in Orlando at the TechMentor conference. The crowd was enthusiastic and asked good questions. As promised, here are my slide decks and demos. My sessions tend to be heavy on demonstration so I can’t promise you’ll get a ton of value from the decks alone. You’ll simply have to attend…
