The Edmonton Microsoft User Group is meeting March 11th at 6.30PM MST (8.30PM EST). I will be doing a 90 minute PowerShell presentation remotely via Live Meeting.

The user group has given me the permission to make this public, so anyone can listen in.

I plan to provide an introduction to Windows PowerShell, which I would still consider about a level 200.

I'll cover:
-General introduction to Windows PowerShell.
-Discuss how some popular server applications like Exchange 2007, IIS 7 and SharePoint can be automated via PowerShell.
-Cover some of the things coming in PowerShell v2.

There isn't a registration link required for this event. Just use the attendee URL to join in and listen on March 11th.

Unfortunately, the video recording of my 9th PowerShell user group meeting held recently has been lost.

My sincere apologies to everyone. Chad Miller has agreed to redo his presentation on his SQL Server PowerShell extensions, so I'll be working with him some time next week to redo his part.

Bruce is working on an update to his most excellent book on Windows PowerShell. It appears the book is due September 2009.

The first edition is definitely seen as the most definite/technical guide currently available.

I'm sure the 2nd edition promises to be even better and will definitely cover PowerShell v2 features.
