The Greater Milwaukee Script Club exists to further IT professionals (administrators, developers, database administrators, and others) ability to leverage PowerShell as an administrative console and scripting language to become more effective in their chosen endeavor.
We meet on the third Thursday (changed from Tuesday) of the month at 6:00 PM (unless otherwise noted). Registration for the meetings is requested (to help with planning for food and space), but not required - http://mkescriptclub.eventbrite.com. Meetings usually run until 7:30, but we often end up talking for a bit longer.
The meetings are held at the Greenfield Police Department, in the Municipal Court room, 5300 W Layton Ave, Greenfield, WI 53220.
Hope to see you there!

Great Book Discounts This Week!
Did you know that the O'Reilly store sells books by other publishers? They sell MS Press, No Starch Press, Pragmatic Bookshelf, and more. Why do I mention this? Because they have a discount for our user group members: just use the code DSUG when you're checking out to get 40% off of any book, and 50% off eBooks (which they make available in ePub, PDF, and MOBI formats).
Meeting Date Change
Due to the availability of our location, we have to move our script club to Thursday evenings. We will keep the same week and time (third week of the month, 6:00 PM). Hope to see you all there!!
Would you attend a PowerShell virtual (LiveMeeting) brown-bag (lunch) meeting without pre-set topics?
February Meeting Results
The February meeting was a lot of fun.
We covered a lot of introductory material and began working through the creation of a script by:
- running interactive commands,
- moving them into a script,
- parameterizing the things that change,
- creating custom objects as output,
- and leveraging the formating and output commands.
Commands used interactively were:
- Get-Content,
- Get-Help,
- Get-ExecutionPolicy,
- Set-ExecutionPolicy,
More Features on PowerShellGroup.org
I just wanted to let you all know ... if you have a user group or script club hosted here on PowerShellGroup.org, you can create forum threads (like this one) for discussion!
We can also set up private group email discussion/announcement lists for you, with an address @PowerShellGroup.org (eg: Rochester@PowerShellGroup.org or Tampa@PowerShellGroup.org, etc.)
We also allow attachments on posts, but there's unfortunately a size limit imposed by our PHP server, so if you need to upload larger files, we can set up your administrator with an FTP account so you can upload larger files like user group presentations, recordings, etc.
