January MeetUp: Getting Started with a Real World Problem

Hullo again, all!

This month we're being hosted at the Maritz IT Services office in Fenton! Once you arrive and park, there will be someone in the lobby to greet you and give you a name tag and help get you to where you need to be. :)

I'll be presenting on getting started with PowerShell using a real life example: Ensuring a particular service is installed and running on multiple remote computers. In this example, we'll:

1. Talk about discoverability (how to find the commands and properties we need)
2. Figure out how to check for services on a computer
3. Write code to start a service if stopped
4. Write code to install the service if not already installed
5. Functionalize this code.

Time permitting, we'll move further with the example or delve into related topics that people want to learn about.

This event will be livestreamed on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_um8fjSWZk0).

If you have any questions, topic comments or suggestions, or concerns, please get in touch with us or leave a comment on the page. Thanks! Hope to see you there!
