    Hi Paul, the Windows PowerShell library that I'll demo on Friday is still a work in progress.  I'll be interested in feedback during/following the session, and then might look at releasing it in the near future.  Assuming you'll be at the session on Friday let's talk more then. Aaron

    Hi Aaron, Just another question. I am well versed in Powershell and MDT. If you need anybody to beta test I would love to take part. Thanks Paul (pauliddon@gmail.com)

    I wish I was at MMS. If I knew this kind of session was on I think I would have sold my house to get to it. Shame. Ill have to keep an eye out for the library. Thanks for getting back to me. Paul Iddon -- T: paul__iddon
