We’re pleased to announce the winners for Event 4 of The Scripting Games 2013! Remember that Event 5 is now open for community voting, and that Event 6 opens up near the end of this week. That’ll be your last chance to contribute, and shortly after TechEd we’ll announce the overall winners. Good luck! Winners: You can log into The Scripting Games Web site and go to your Profile page to see your prize.
Active Directory is one of those things I just love to work with. That’s why I was really looking forward to this event. As always, I learned few things, but still - seen some mistakes that I would like to highlight. As always - you can read about those both in Polish and in English. Enjoy!
Again if you"™re participating in the games this year you"™ve already won! If you"™re not and you"™re reading this post what are you doing! I"™ve watched authors step there game up over the past month, and I can tell you from personal experience the games will make you better at your real job. It"™s like sharpening an axe, an axe made of super juice that can automate the world 🙂
Looking for a great getting-started PowerShell class? Or perhaps you’d like to send a colleague or peer to some PowerShell “zero to hero” training? We’ve just finished the official beta-teach of Microsoft’s 10961, Automating Administration with Windows PowerShell, and it went _great. _The sequencing of the class was spot-on, and we had an absolutely incredible group of students. Many were n00bs, which was perfect; a couple had “some” shell experience but wanted to learn “the right way.
It is all downhill from here folks! Event 4 is in the books and we only have 2 more to go! Everyone has been doing an outstanding job with their submissions and it is becoming clear that people are learning new things and showing some great techniques with their code. Of course, this doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement with some submissions to make them even better or just some simple mistakes that can be cleaned up to make average submissions into amazing submissions.
Loved seeing [OutputType([PSObject])] in an entry this morning… that helps the help system document what your script produces. It’s a shame it doesn’t work well with custom type names (since those are a bit of a fake-out on the object), but it’s an attention to detail I appreciate. I am seeing a little bit of misunderstandings. Keep in mind that the lastLogonTimestamp attribute in AD is the one that replicates, although there is a long possible delay in that replication.
 Wow! That’s the only word I can think of to describe the submissions this time. I’m really impressed with the approaches taken to solve this problem. The only thing that could have been better is quitting when the ActiveDirectory module or the Quest snapin weren’t found. I chalked that up to not having experience with an actual audit where no answer is not acceptable, so I didn’t count against it when evaluating the scripts.
We’re putting together our schedule for 2014 (yes, already), and we’re looking to hold premier-level PowerShell master classes throughout the world. But… we need your help. If you’ve got a really top-notch training center in your area that might be interested in working with us, contact me. We’ll need the name of someone there - the training manager, the marketing manager, someone like that. We co-market our classes, but rely on a local center to market to their existing customer base as well.
