What we’re about
The Research Triangle PowerShell Users Group is a community of IT administrators, engineers, managers, devops engineers, developers and anyone that has the interest to learn more about PowerShell and automation.
We strive to provide opportunities to educate and promote PowerShell knowledge in the RTP area of North Carolina. In addition to education, we provide opportunities for members to communicate, share ideas, discuss employment opportunities and promote resources to help all members succeed and grow in their careers.
Our meetings can include guest speakers, presentations from members of the group or more informally sessions devoted to collaborating on members projects or scripts. Regardless of ability, you are welcome to attend and encouraged to actively participate. We meet 2x a month; once in person and once as a remote meeting.
We have a number of places on the web where we share content. Please feel free to check out the resources below and join in the conversations wherever possible.

See all- Overcoming Certutil Challenges in PowerShell with Crescendo (Jake Hildreth)Link visible for attendees
Jake Hildreth will join us to show how he used Crescendo to turn those clunky CertUtil.exe commands into smooth, PowerShell-friendly tools you’ll actually enjoy using.
Meeting Description:
Over the years, many Microsoft command-line tools have come and gone, but some, like certutil.exe, have stood the test of time. Chances are you’ve used certutil countless times for certificate tasks 🔐, and maybe even memorized some of its old-school syntax to get things done. But one thing is clear: CertUtil doesn’t exactly play well with PowerShell or automation out of the box.If you’re ready to change that, join us to see how Jake Hildreth leveraged Crescendo to transform CertUtil’s raw, unstructured output into a clean, PowerShell-friendly tool that you’ll actually enjoy using in your scripts ⚙️.
Jake will introduce Crescendo and explain the challenges it addresses. Then he’ll guide us through the journey from traditional CertUtil commands to their improved, Crescendo-powered versions. Along the way, he’ll share some bumps he encountered (and how he solved them), because every good demo includes a bit of troubleshooting! 🛠️
Whether you’re a PowerShell expert or just looking to simplify CertUtil, this session has something for you. Bring your questions and curiosity — let’s make CertUtil fun again! 🚀
