After a terrific few years at SAPIEN Technologies<\/a>, I'm back on my own. This site will be my new home. I've revamped the title, but I think it more accurately describes my subject matter. Even though I write extensively about scripting and PowerShell, which I'll continue to do, the topic is really a means to an end. I strongly believe that scripting and automation technologies are essential keys to success for Windows administrators with too much work on their plates and not nearly enough time or resources.<\/p>\n

I hope to use this blog as a foundation for sharing tips, scripts, solutions, advice and anything else I can do to make your job easier. This will also be the place I'll announce new books, writing projects, training classes and anything else I'm up to professionally that I think you might like so I hope you'll subscribe.  By the way, the SAPIEN Technologies blog<\/a> is still active and I hope you stay subscribed as it is the best way to keep on top of new offerings.<\/p>\n

In the mean time I hope you'll stay subscribed to this blog, follow me on Twitter<\/a> and let me know what would make your<\/em><\/strong> life easier. Please feel free to post comments here or email me directly jhicks@jdhitsolutions.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
