Voting is now open! As of this morning you can vote for the sessions that you want to see at the 2013 PowerShell Summit! We have 97 session proposals (see below), plus additional content from the PowerShell Team. Your vote is really important, so please take some time to indicate what you would like to see from a PowerShell-specific conference with deep technical depth. Here"™s what you need to do:
Voting is open! As you know, the PowerShell Summit North America 2013 is coming in April 2013, and we’re relying on you to tell us what sessions you’d like to see there. We’ve already accepted dozens of proposed sessions, and we’re ready for you to vote. Go ahead and take the survey now. (opens in a new window/tab) While voting, you can technically choose as many sessions as you want - but remember that we can’t present them all, so try to pick no more than 20 sessions as your “favorites.
Our inaugural meeting was as follows: 10 minute demo from MVP Systems about how JAMS Scheduler works with PowerShell Presentation on what Remoting is and how it works See the zip file in the post for the PowerPoint with speaking notes Pizza break! Live remoting demo See the zip file in the post for a text file of the PowerShell demo On the topic of deploying a GPO to set your script execution policy, Bhargav Shukla from the Philadelphia Exchange User Group brought to our attention KB2467565 which address the following issue:  “You cannot install an update rollup for Exchange Server 2010 with a deployed GPO that defines a PowerShell execution policy for the server to be updated”.
Oisin and I have been busy prepping the PowerShell Community Extensions to support Windows PowerShell 3.0. With this release, we are providing two packages. There is a Pscx-2.1.0-RC.zip that is xcopy deployable just like PSCX 2.0. Just remember to unblock the ZIP before extracting it otherwise you"™ll get errors when you try to import the module. Pscx 2.1 can be used to target both Windows PowerShell 2.0 and 3.0. In order to do this, Pscx 2.
In case you haven"™t heard already, there is a great opportunity to learn a lot more about PowerShell coming up next year. It"™s the PowerShell Summit North America 2013 conference, and it is held on Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA from April 22 to 24, 2013. This conference is run by the PowerShell.org community, and it will present a ton of deep technical content on anything to do with PowerShell. What content will be covered, you ask?
What’s the average tech conference cost these days? $1500? $2000? And that’s just to get in, to say nothing of hotel, air, food, and whatnot. The PowerShell Summit North America 2013 has an idea. Lets do a community-owned event, with a goal of breaking even and supporting an annual event, but not worry about a profit. Lets say you live in the US. A ticket to Seattle in April will run you $500-700 after taxes.
When Kirk Munro and I set this site up, and started redirecting traffic from the old PowerShellCommunity.org, one of our main goals was to make this a truly community-owned resource. We wanted it hosted independently (my company, Concentrated Tech, is being paid to host the site, so we get pretty good service and total control). We didn’t want to be beholden to anyone’s commercial interests or whims (companies do get distracted by their real jobs from time to time, after all).
That’s right, for just $400 you can guarantee yourself a seat at the PowerShell Summit North America 2013, to be held at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, WA. Just 10 tickets will be made available at this low-low-low price, which is $150 off the normal registration rate. Why so low? Why are they called “I’m Feeling Lucky” tickets? Because while we’re committed to an April 2013 date, we haven’t actually locked in dates with Microsoft, yet.
Microsoft recently posted the online help for PowerShell v3 Workflow (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134242), and I wanted to take an opportunity to explore some of what the help says - and perhaps offer an outsider’s perspective. What is Workflow? Workflow is a set of technologies included with PowerShell v3, and is available on any computer running v3 (which can include Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012).
This is a free e-book that covers PowerShell Remoting. There’s a brief overview and tutorial of actually using Remoting, but that part isn’t in-depth. What this e-book provides, that you won’t find elsewhere, is step-by-step, screenshot-based instructions for configuring Remoting for any imaginable scenario. You’ll also find troubleshooting tutorials and examples, and even information on how to explain Remoting to your corporate IT security team. It’s all the stuff that isn’t documented in PowerShell’s own help - and it’s completely free. You don’t even need to register to download the file!
