On January 10, 2012, Midlands PASS is pleased to welcome back PowerShell expert and teacher, Ed Wilson (blog | twitter), and his lovely wife Teresa.

Whether you haven't learned what PowerShell is yet or you're an expert yourself, you're sure to learn something from Ed as he dives into PowerShell from a useful and practical perspective. PowerShell was designed to be the scripting language for administrative and automated tasks on Windows systems, regardless of application. It has a wealth of uses from Active Directory to Exchange to SQL Server. It's use isn't just limited to Microsoft products as it can be used to script and automate just about anything that runs on a Windows system.
