Greetings, all,
We’re getting ready for MVP Summit here in Redmond next week, and looking forward to meeting with the MVPs who are able to attend. While preparing for their visit, however, the MVPs keep blogging.
Keep learning about PowerShell with the links below. Not only are the PowerShell MVPs offering theirusualset of tips (including Desired State Configuration), you can also learn how to user PowerShell from otherMVPs. Also—you know how PowerShell capabilities depend on the version of PowerShell you’re running? Here’s how to programmatically test for version.
With IaaS, Azure is also getting increasing interest from the IT Pro community. Here’s some testing results from running Remote Desktop Services in Azure, as well as an overview of things that you should know if considering using the platform.
If you’re a fan of interactive learning, this roundup is a good opportunity to hear about in-person and online events such as PASS, E2EVC, Truth in IT series, the PowerShell Deployment Toolkit video (German) and the SMB Kitchen Chat. Or check out some reading material.
Happy reading!
