Jonathan,
Man, I’m loving your podcast about Powershell. I just discovered it about a week ago and listened to every show. I’m hoping you will post Episode 7 soon or I will have to start at Episode 0 to get my Powershell fix. Keep up the good work you have a good format and it is a great help to some of us newbies.
Oh, before I go, you have a couple of Episodes that play back at a faster speed. I’m not sure if you were aware of it but it wasn’t a problem following the podcast.
Thanks,
Cornelius
Great job with the podcast. You guys get better and better every week. Keep up the good work.

Jonathan & Hal,
I would like to thank you both for reviewing PowerShellPro.com on Episode 10. I can’t thank you enough for the kind words.

Hey,
I am listening to the Podcasts from 1 forward and just finished episode 9. You guys are doing a great job.
I just ran into a gotcha… There is an alias of “sc” for Set-Content. The command sc has been a dos-prompt command for service control for some time. This lets you do what netstat does and more for sevices running locally and remotely.
It took me typing my command in about 3 times before I realized what was going on!
This brought me to my next issue – there is no remove-alias! I went to http://www.reskit.net/Monad/samplescripts.htm and found that Remove-Alias had been dropped, but a script is available. Unfortunately, this didn’t work: Remove-Item : Alias was not removed because alias sc is constant and cannot be removed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brooke
Hey Jonathan and Hal
I’ve been intending to send an email but have just gotten around to it.
I love the Podcast. You guys are doing a great job. I have really admired the way the Podcast has grown in content and quality since it was first launched.
I use Powershell daily, and have been on a mission to expand it’s use within my organization. To that end I have created a BLOG and published it to Sys Admins that I work with frequently within my company.
For my daily Powershell work I run PowerShell+.
For script development I use AdminScripteditor by iTripoli.
Keep up the great work. I’ll be listening.
Thanks
Patrick
Hey Hal and Jonathan,
After seeing Hal’s comment, I just realized how horrible it is to copy code from my blog
I was wondering if you have figured out how to embed a script from poshcode.org on your WordPress.com blog.
Thanks!
Andy
Thanks for your work on the show. I think you guys are doing a great job.
You read a comment recently about straying from the focus on the beginner learning PowerShell. I don’t think that’s a big problem. I’m one of those beginners who listen but don’t understand everything.
That’s alright. I’m starting to catch on.
That comment you read gave me an idea though. Keep your current format for the show, but maybe do a few narrowly focused 5 minute instruction pieces.
You could answer questions like-
What is a command-let, module, function, method, script?
(I’m starting to use them, but I don’t understand how they’re different/same)
How is an object passed on the pipeline-what exactly is being passed?
I’ve installed PSCX and PowerGui with power packs – what do I have?
What are best practices for formatting or documenting scripts?
This may be outside the scope of what you’re trying to accomplish. I can understand that.
Keep up the good work.
Hey,
I have been listening to your postcast’s and you guys are doing great job.
Here is something I want to share as a single liner
I have text file with the name text1.txt, text2.txt and so on..
I have always been renaming these files manually for long time and now with Power (PowerShell) in my hand I do this..
Get-ChildItem *.txt | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -replace ‘text(\d+)’, ‘$1. text’}
HTH for all those who come across situations when you want to rename such files.. this is for files with name starting with “text”.. I am working on making this script as general as possible.
