Dear Ted,
 
One of the most exciting  tracks at this year's TechMentor is the Windows  PowerShell & Administrative Automation track. For 

years, Unix and Linux  administrators have sneered at their Windows colleagues, claiming that our  GUI-based administrative 

tools were less efficient because they couldn't be  easily automated. Well, let them sneer no more, as TechMentor 

demonstrates that  Windows can be a highly-efficient, extremely automated way of administering a  business of any size.
And we're not talking  VBScript. For years, that's been our only means of automating, but many  administrators 

simply felt they didn't have the time for VBScript's somewhat  steep learning curve. Instead, we're focused on Windows 

PowerShell - not a  scripting language, but an all-new interactive shell from Microsoft's that's  available for free and 

production-ready. I've assembled the most experienced  PowerShell speakers on the planetâseriouslyâto cover 

real-world administrative  tasks like Active Directory, Group Policy, remote systems management, and much  more. I strongly 

encourage you to attend the "PowerShell  crash 

course" I'm delivering as a pre-conference workshop, to give you  the core background skills you'll need to truly 

master Windows PowerShell.
But PowerShell isn't the  only game in town. I've also invited speakers who will cover command-line  administration 

using more traditional tools, which  will let you 

automate brand-new technologies like Windows Server  

Core. I've also lined up experts to cover the automation of Windows  deployment, along with other complex, real-world 

tasks. We'll also be giving  you a peek at the future, such as our sessions that focus on Windows PowerShell  v2 and other 

emerging technologies. In short, TechMentor'sÂ Windows  

PowerShell & Administrative Automation track offers the maximum level  of real-world, 

take-home-and-use-it-immediately learning permitted by law - and  certainly the most information-packed agenda available in 

2008.
I look forward to seeing you  in San Francisco!
