As DBAs, we constantly have to stretch our time and budget resources, and the best way to keep up with demands is through process automation. Workflow and PassThru parameters are just two of the features that will allow you to turn complex tasks into simple, repeatable, automated processes easier than you would have ever dreamed possible. And if you've had trouble with PowerShell in the past, the auto-completion and eager loading of modules will make your transition to PowerShell hero even simpler. Come see how mid-tone blue can help take your skills to the next level.

You will learn:

  • New features in PowerShell v3 and the new PowerShell ISE
  • How those features can be applied to make regular DBA tasks automated and repeatable
  • Real-world scripts that they can use within their own environment.
