Another month, another meeting.  Time really is flying.  And now with more Holidays fast approaching, I am sure that time will warp on us.

The Las Vegas user group is happy to announce that we have a new topic and new presenter (new to us anyway) for the month of November.  Norm Kelm is prepared to teach us a few things about his new hammer.

POWERSHELL, THE NEW SQL HAMMER

You’ve seen all the amazing scripts that use PowerShell, but writing your own is raising more questions. This session will help fill in the gaps by explaining all the moving parts of PowerShell 2.0, the integration with SQL Server and answer the following questions as well as others. Why is Invoke-Sqlcmd necessary? What is and why is there a Minishell for SQL Server? What makes the SQLSERVER: PS Drive so powerful? How does a remote SQL Server get added to the SQLSERVER: PS Drive?
