Trond Hindenes presented on Real Life SMA this month. Boe Prox was able to get this presentation recorded and it is now on YouTube. The slides Trond used in his presentation are here. The YouTube video is here.
This month we have several exciting things going on! First, Trond Hindenes will be joining us via Lync from the great country of Norway for a presentation on Service Management Automation (SMA). Trond is a Senior Consultant at Crayon who spends most of his non-snowboarding time working on Microsoft System Center, PowerShell, Active Directory, Virtualization and Microsoft Azure. You can find him onTwitter and on his website Trond’s Working! Second, the first 30 minutes of this meeting will be used to announce the “official” formation of an Omaha System Center Users Group and to give attendees time to network with each other and talk to Matt, Kelly and Zac about the formation of the user group (if they are interested in learning more about it).
This month PowerShell MVP Trevor Sullivan will be presenting on using Windows Azure with PowerShell. Additionally you will want to bring your laptops (or favorite device to use PowerShell on) as we will have a little scripting challenge involving PowerShell, Credentials and Security. Also, my girlfriend has promised to make cookies for everyone! Trevor Sullivan is an IT professional and a Microsoft Windows PowerShell MVP who has been in the field since early 2004.
In August Bartek Bielawski presented on OMI, PowerShell, Linux using PowerShell and the power of Sparkle Ponies. His presentation notes and code can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=4BFE4A6675A48C91&id=4BFE4A6675A48C91%21115
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/omaha-powershell-users-group-august-meeting-tickets-12703856577 In the second ever meeting of the Omaha PowerShell User Group we will have PowerShell MVP Bartek Bielawski talking about OMI: PowerShell Everywhere: CIM cmdlets and CDXML commands are advertised as technology that will enable PowerShell users to manage anything in datacenter. It wouldn’t be possible though without something that we can talk to on the remote end, and that’s were OMI kicks in. In this presentation I will show you how you can manage processes on Linux using OMI and CIM, and how easy it is to create CDXML based commands on top of it.
The next (and second ever) meeting of the Omaha PowerShell Users Group is taking place next Tuesday, August 26th. MVP Bartek Bielawski will be talking about OMI on Windows and Linux. I am having some issues with Lync in our Office 365 account so as soon as that gets straightened out I will be creating the invite for you to sign up, so watch for that!
The first Omaha PowerShell User Group Meeting is in the books! We had a great turnout with 26 people showing up last night. The video Don Jones made for us is available on YouTube here. Our next meeting will take place on August 26th with PowerShell MVP Bartek Bielawski doing the presentation on either Pre-Param Scriptology or PowerShell and OMI. We will also have a short Scripting Game/Contest of some kind.
The first meeting of the Omaha PowerShell User Group is filling up fast! There are only 16 available seats so make sure you get your spot! Meeting details and sign up information can be found at omahapsug.eventbrite.com
The Omaha PowerShell User Group is now open for business! If you are in the Omaha-Council Bluffs-Lincoln area and are interested in being a part of it, either let myself, Jacob Benson (@vhusker) or Boe Prox (@proxb) know. We are currently looking for a meeting place and are shooting for having our first meeting the last week in July. In addition to finding out who might be interested in attending, we would also like to know what days/times work best for you and the kinds of things you would like to get out of the meetings.
