Our Technology Wizards Great Idea / Tech Talk will be presented by Matt Wilson, Brightstar Consulting
This is a new 2-5 minute segment that features one of our members sharing a business, marketing or technical tip that they have found to be very helpful or valuable in their business.
Disk Recovery and Why to Avoid It. Disk Recovery is one of the last things that an IT professional wants to do. Matt will briefly mention the (glaringly obvious) ways to avoid it, and some of the options that exist when you have no choice but to recover a disk. Matt will also include some of his own experiences with this.

PowerShell presented by Mark Hicks, Petra Technologies
Come and learn a little bit about Power Shell. We’ll explore a few basics like running DOS commands at the PS prompt and capturing and parsing output. We’ll demonstrate a few commands that may be useful on a daily basis. And, we’ll explore some scripts and examples of using Power Shell to automate various tasks. Bring your curiosity and your questions as this is intended to be both informative and interactive.
