Thursday Feb 6 is our next podcast, joining us is Jim Britt (@jimbrittphotos) from Microsoft talking about SMA. What is SMA you might ask (or at least I asked) Service Management
Automation is the answer. Here is another page you might want to look at as well.
Hope to see you in the chatroom at 9:30PM EST.

## Bring on the nostalgia! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.strings(v=vs.110).aspx
## (or the horror)
## throw the gang sign Ed!!!!
## Would people come to Napa if Sapian hosted a powershell saturday?
##Jon Up Next Dave Wyatt
## real-world usage question for Ed...
## do you use aliases in scripts you write for yourself?
## are there any major caveats to using DSC and/or v4.0 in general on down-level OS versions?
## I ask because some cmdlets introduced in 3.0 don't work on 2008R2
## Powershell against RT?
## What's the next book? (or did I miss that?)
## do you benefit at all from safari online usage?

Chatroom Highlights:
## Did you see my question about naming? 🙂
## Rick is an awesome supporter of The Krewe for TechEd!
## how can PDT deploy to Azure if some System Center components (SCVMM) are not supported in Azure?
## Are there any plans to port some of the PDT functionality to leverage DSC?
## how are customers successful deploying SC with PDT without Microsoft's help? I often hear people having problems with too complex XML config files
## Whats the fewest number of VM's I need to deploy the whole system centre suite using this toolkit?
## some error logs might help too 😉
