So- I know I mentioned some SQL integration, but that is on hold due to the huge amount of projects I have going on right now. I have since moved from the St. Louis Missouri area to the Huntsville Alabama region and have been pretty busy with that as well as my new job! So, [...]

So, I had something embarrasing happen to me as I was practicing my Powershell integration to SQL. I installed something and rebooted the server without saving the random instance name I created (dumb sometimes). After a quick google search, I found the registry key to look for and was able to create code accordingly! (get-itemproperty [...]
There are so many reasons I enjoy Powershell, which if you know me or have read any of my website articles (not blog) you would know. I have recently enjoyed Powershell because of the easy integration with T-SQL or Microsoft SQL. The ability to query directly to the database from my familiar ISE is fantastic [...]
I was at a location where I needed to quickly gather information about features installed on a server. There are several ways to do this of course and you could get pretty clever with the methods to perform that operation- but one cool thing I found while doing the research was the Powershell Module Server [...]
Hey! I was recently going through some of my old band’s DVDs that we used to take while playing and found a chance to do some even nerdier stuff than watch old videos of my band! I was having to go through each DVD, get the name (from the label on the disk), create [...]

Let’s talk Powershell! I’ve been out on work for a little while and have been looking at a few scripts and “preaching” the word about Powershell as a means for fast administration! So in accordance to that, I wanted to share this script that takes a list of computers, queries then and if it is [...]

Powershell 3.0 is wonderful. Built in cmdlets that just have so much use and save such time when looking into things. Today I have a need to pull out some DHCP information and I quickly found and referenced the powershell 3.0 cmdlet Get-DHCPServerv4Scope. This is a wonderful tool that allows the viewing of all [...]
So- let’s just say I’ve been very busy. I still love my new job, it’s awesome! I’m having to take the entirety of the MCITP EA certification which is actually great because I’m picking up a lot along the way, stuff I never had a chance to study. The MCITP EA? Yeah the link is right [...]
Using Test-Path to validate and create a series of folders

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve started a new job and it has been fantastic. Not only am I learning a “slew” of new skills, I have been able to practice and use more Powershell. So what are we working on? How about some test-path! Test-Path is a very powerful tool in [...]
Hey! It’s been a while, I apologize. I’ve started a new job and am getting settled in and I’ve got to say it’s absolutely wonderful. Definitely sad to leave the last company but this company provides me a much better opportunity and will broaden my skillset. How about some Powershell though? So one [...]
