Beginning Powershell for DBAs: 1 of 6

This is a live class I gave at the NTSSUG (North Texas SQL Server User Group).

Let me just say now that it was a disaster from the start.  My laptop wouldn’t  work with the projector so

I had to use someone else’s box at the last minute so I hadn’t tested my demos on that box and to top things off,

the guy who was supposed to speak after me wasn’t ready so I had to go completely without a script for over an hour so I got into some things

I wasn’t prepared for.  That said, it’s still a decent class and will give you an idea of powershell.

But it was definitely one of those nights when I was initially thrown by problems in the beginning and never got back on track.
