Dallas/Fort Worth Powershell User Group
ContactEmail:
The Dallas/Fort Worth PowerShell group offers folks in the Metroplex an opportunity to meet with likeminded professionals. No experience with PowerShell is required, but, if you have some, we'd be glad to have you come out. Each month we focus on a specific topic and discuss how various issues affect practical use of PowerShell. Members of the User Group range from sysadmins to developers with lots of folks in between. Questions about how a problem can be solved are always welcome.
