I just finished a week of PowerShell training in Phoenix. It was a terrific class that uses the Learn PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches book as the course material. I will be back in Phoenix next month to teach the class and I’m also on the books for the course in March. If…

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…
MSDevWNY PowerShell Advanced Functions
Last night I presented for the MSDevWNY user group in the Buffalo, NY area. They were an interested and enthusiastic audience and I think we could have spent another few hours talking about PowerShell. My presentation was one I’ve given before on Advanced PowerShell functions. I promised the group a copy of my slides and…

It took longer than I expected, but my latest course for TrainSignal is now available. PowerShell v3 Essentials is targeted for IT Pros with little to no PowerShell experience. This is the course that will get you up and running in short order. I developed the course so that an IT Pro could be effective…

I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at TechDays San Francisco this year. The event runs May 2nd and 3rd. You can find the schedule here. Registration will be forthcoming. Seating will be limited so you won’t want to delay once it opens up. As you might expect I’ll be talking PowerShell, plus…

If you are involved with managing Group Policy, then you most likely know of Group Policy MVP Jeremy Moskowitz. If you live live in the NY, PA or NJ area (or like to travel), then you might also be interested a week long class on Group Policy the week of February 4th, 2013. The class…
New PowerShell 3.0 Video Training Course
I am very pleased to announce that my latest course from Trainsignal is now available. PowerShell v3 New Features is a course aimed at those of you who have experience with PowerShell v2. I wanted to create something that you could use as a jump-start into PowerShell v3 so the course focuses on what’s new,…
Introducing the ScriptingHelp PowerShell Module
Over the last few weeks I’ve posted articles on the different parameter validation options in Windows PowerShell. More than one person suggested consolidating the articles. That seemed like a good idea. There were a variety of ways to handle this but I wanted something more PowerShell-oriented. Then I realized, why not produce PowerShell About topics?…
Training Down Under
I will be doing a private #PowerShell training class in Canberra, Australia in March. Since it is a long trek I’d love to add a second week of work, either training or speaking. I had a second training gig lined up but it fell through. I realize it might be short notice but I’d love…
PowerShell 3.0 Easy Rider
Today I gave an Live Meeting presentation for the PowerShell Virtual User Group. When the recording is posted I’ll update this post. I spoke about new features in Windows PowerShell 3.0 that I think will make it easier for people to use PowerShell more efficiently. I think they even might find it fun. Here is…
PowerShell in a Nutshell
This past weekend I did an online presentation for a friend of mine who teaches for ITT in Omaha, Nebraska. He wanted me to do a brief talk about what PowerShell is and show how to use it, especially for managing Active Directory. I probably went much longer than I needed but everyone seemed to…

Get Process Owner
I’ve been working on my second training course for Train Signal on managing Windows Server 2008 with Windows PowerShell, specifically the lesson on managing processes. I thought I’d share a little tidbit I worked out. In fact, I hope you’ll stay tuned for other little goodies over the next several weeks. The training video will…
