We"™ve had someone from /n software on the show before, but it was quite some time ago. Lance is also a pretty PowerShell prolific blogger who should have some cool stuff to talk about in addition to what he is working on at /n.
Here is his bio:
“I’ve been with /n software since 2001, when I started as the Developer Support Manager, assisting software developers with the use of our Internet development components using various programming languages. Eventually I moved into my current role as Product Manager, organizing developers and overseeing API design and testing. Through my blog (www.lancerobinson.net) and twitter (twitter.com/lmrobins), I share a lot of cool things I stumble across as well as information about the wide range of /n software products.”

We"™ve had Brandon on the show before, so you know this will be a good one. This time, Brandon will give us the scoop on what is new from Microsoft on managing Active Directory in PowerShell V2. While Brandon is a PowerShell MVP, Active Directory is his real specialty, so he"™ll be able to go as deep into the details as we let him.
We can"™t do this interview alone! We need you to attend PowerScripting Live this Thursday, March 19th at 9pm EDT so that we can pepper Brandon with some great AD questions from the audience.
In This Episode
Tonight on the PowerScripting Podcast we talk with Ferdinand Rios and Jeffery Hicks from SAPIEN Technologies.

Interview
*When it comes to scripting, you"™re a warrior. But mighty warriors need mighty tools!*
For awesome PowerShell scripting, nothing matches the might of Quest"™s PowerGUI. Versatile and easy to use, PowerGUI helps you build commanding scripts that leverage PowerShell"™s strength across the enterprise. Now, ruling your domain is easier than ever.
Wow, we are so used to twitter, we just said all that needed saying in under 140 characters. 🙂
On this week"™s show we will have Alex Riedel and Jeffrey Hicks from SAPIEN on to talk about PrimalScript 2009 and PrimalTools. Please join us at the usual Bat-Time of 9 Eastern (we"™re on summer time now, watch out for that) this Thursday.
And lastly, we want to apologize for no show last week. A combination of things made production difficult, so we decided we had to bail.
“I started at F5 in 1998 at about 20 employees and am now #3 in tenure mark with roughly 1700. I started out in Product Development as a Senior Software Engineer for our core BIG-IP product. I later moved into a Senior Software Architect role focusing on integration technologies. In 2001 I designed and wrote a web service stack (iControl) on our Networking gear to allow management and monitoring of the devices from SOAP enabled languages. I wrote and published the SDK for our set of web services (~3000 methods on our BIG-IP Application Delivery Platform).
