Presentation – Managing Group Policy using PowerShell

Posted on by

So. I gave the presentation to the UG on Tuesday night. It was the first real time I’ve done that sort of thing. I tend to be very self critical so I believe it could have gone better, but I’m happy that the fundamental message got across.

I’ll write up the meeting soon.

I’ve put the presentation inside a zip file. This should resolve any issues. Please let me know ..

Any comments on either the night, or the attached PowerPoint are welcome ….

Get-PSUGUK Meeting Tonight

Well my presentation slide deck is complete. I have two demo’s in my presentation and the second one appears to break Jeffrey Snovers Start-Demo Script which is a bit uncool. Unless I can work around it I guess the second demo will be hand-cranked. Eeek! At least I have MoW’s Tab Completion to help me through the 9 or so lines of script. :)

As much as I’d rather continue presenting to an empty room, there will be some good presenters there tonight, and so to be fair to them I’ll pass on the Live Meeting details for anyone who can’t make it to the event, but would like to join in all the same!

The November meeting is Tuesday 20th November starting at 6.30pm GMT

Wish me luck! ;)

Get-PSUGUK November Meeting

I don’t think word has gone out yet, but I believe next months PowerShell User Group meeting will be held at the now usual venue of Clarks Legal in Reading on the 20th of November.

This may have changed since I last spoke to Richard, but I believe there are three presentations scheduled:

- Ben Pierce
- James O’Neill
- Adam Bell

Yes. I somehow managed to get myself involved with a couple of guys that apparently do know what they are talking about. I don’t know what the guys have planned, but my session will be on “Managing Group Policy with PowerShell”

We’ve also got a few sponsors for the next meeting, and a few goodies to give away, but more on that when I get the official nod on what’s been arranged ;)

Oh, and distance is no longer an excuse. Employing the wonders of technology, the next session will be broadcast live and unedited to your screens via Live Meeting. Eeek!

I’ll post more specifics when I get confirmation over the next couple of days!

[Update - 19 Oct]

While I’m waiting for the official news to filter through I would like to say a quick thank you to Darren Mar-Elia a.k.a. The GPO Guy from SDM Software for sponsoring the refreshments at our next meeting, and for sending the UG some schwag :)

If you’re planning on attending the meet you’ll get a glimpse of what their GPExpert™ Scripting Toolkit for PowerShell can do during my session.
