I have a new blog at the SAPIEN blog that is a visit to an old friend, DosKey. Now, before you dismiss this as old-fashioned, take a moment to read the article and try it out. If you spend a lot of time at a command prompt, DosKey can make you more efficient. You can…

PowerShell TFM has been a-proofed
I saw the galley proofs for Windows PowerShell TFM the other day. It’s very exciting. We have to make a few minor changes and then the printer will quickly get to work. I assume the first books will hit the streets in a few weeks. You can still pre-order at Amazon or at ScriptingOutpost.com. I…

More One Liners
I recently did a TipSheet column listing some of my favorite quick, one line commands. Reader Wayne was kind enough to share with me his list of oft-used one-liners which he graciously offered to share. I have not tested many of these personally, but you always test things in a non-production environment anyway, right? The…

Tip Sheet Thoughts
As some of you may know, I’ve started writing the weekly Tip Sheet column for MCPMag.com. It’s a short column with just enough room to get a tip or suggestion out. There’s not nearly enough room to explain my reasoning for the tip so I thought I’d jot down some thoughts about my goals and…
Mr. Roboto is coming
I will be taking over the Mr. Roboto column for REDMOND Magazine. If you’ve seen the column, I don’t know if I’ll be wearing the shiny Borg suit that Don Jones used to wear. It chafes a little but nothing that a little oil won’t cure. If you haven’t read the column, its goal is…
PowerShell TFM is coming
It’s taken a lot of work, and some patience with Microsoft to get RC2 out of the door, but the new PowerShell book is in post-production. I don’t have a definite publishing date but it is coming! You can help us figure out how many to print by pre-ordering at Amazon. You can also check…

PowerShell RC2 is out!
Finally!! You can now download PowerShell RC2 from Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925228. There are packages for XP and Windows 2003. I’m trusting that Powershell is functionally identical. The link for the 2003 x86 edition doesn’t work (at least at the time of this posting) but you can get the file at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=73252&clcid=0x409.Technorati Tags:PowerShell Scripting
