Introduction to Powershell Video

Even if you can't get into the 'admin' bits of Powershell what with your network systems, you can still delve into it with the file-level stuff. Script actions against files based on content, output to HTML/CSV, etc. send them to email. Even by doing that, you'll be on the right track when it comes to working with your networked systems!
True enough. I'm just trying to think of some practical use cases I could even use this for at home.

At the moment, I have nowhere that I really need to know Powershell for. Soon hopefully.
If you wait until you "need" to know things it is too late. You have to work on learning them when they are not needed so that when they are needed you are the guy who knows them.

Why does it need to be practical? Very little of what I do at home is practical. The less practical, the more useful the knowledge likely is.

I have a book I waited to start working through. I'll have to start it when I get home. It'll be good to start on the weekend.

And in conjunction with this, check out Jeffrey Snover's session about JITJEA. He shows some pretty neat Powershell tools to beef up your security for admins.

I was taking notes during this one when my laptop died halfway through. I was pretty disappointed, but now I can run through it again. Sweet!

I think you died halfway through, not your laptop.

Really really wish someone EQed out that high frequency feedback from the mics

No. Laptop died halfway. I died 3/4 way because I can't just sit somewhere and stay alive lol. I don't get enough sleep for that.

Looking forward to watch this video when I'm home. I want to use Powershell when adding permission and creating users in Active Directory

Definitely an improvement versus losing the talks completely.

For our desktop guys I recently wrote a tool that troubleshot network connectivity, web site being up, a few pings. There's always things you can work on that will help you. What do you do more than once? It's probably a candidate for automation.

Link not working for me
-
@Carnival-Boy
Capacity issue? The link worked for me last night (though I didn't get to actually view it), and just now.I'll admit - It's something I should learn... When I put the new server online adding 150 users quickly will be nice. Though I suppose that since I already have them in O365, all I will (should in theory) need to do is install the AD<>O365 connector and be done.
However, our 2k3 server is still separate, and I just added 12 people with COPY. Would have been nicer/faster with PS - if I knew it.
-
I get the error only if I'm logged in to Spiceworks. If I logout, I can view the video, if I log back in, I get the error. Weird. It's like SW doesn't like me!
-
Anyway, I've watched it now. Good work, boys!

You don't have AD?

,..... Uhm,.. Nope. and yes. Organization has two OU (of sorts). The main office is a (crap shoot) Workgroup. The other does have AD in a Server 2k3 with Exchange...
Thus some of my recent (history) posts.
