New TechNet event announced: Using Windows Powershell to administer your Windows environment, February 12th 2008, Reading
Windows Powershell will ship as part all future major Microsoft products including Windows 2008. These two sessions will show you how to manage Windows Server 2008 and your Windows environment with Windows PowerShell as well as covering some of the features of PowerShell V2. Starting with an overview of Windows PowerShell and WMI we will show how local and remote systems can be managed by WMI and the new remoting features in Windows PowerShell V2. We will look at some of the new features in Windows Server 2008, including Server Core, Active Directory and IIS 7, and show how Windows PowerShell is the ideal management tool for automating your administrative experience.
This event will be delivered by Richard Siddaway, who runs the UK Powershell User Group,powershell-uk@hotmail.co.uk:
