PowerShell Wisdom from 35 Years in the Trenches with Jeff Hicks
Q: What are the two types of PowerShell people, and is there a clear division between them?

From School IT Intern to Systems Architect with Chris Thomas
Q: How has PowerShell impacted your approach to problem solving in education tech?

From School IT Intern to Systems Architect with Chris Thomas
Q: What drew you to the community and conferences as a growth engine?
He highlights the value of presenting, networking, and the energizing effect of conferences like Maeds, MMS, and MOA on motivation and opportunities, including meeting peers who later become collaborators.
From School IT Intern to Systems Architect with Chris Thomas
Q: Tell us a little about your background and how you got into PowerShell.
Chris describes starting as a high school intern in IT, moving into school district roles, and gradually expanding responsibilities through mentorship and community involvement, which helped him adopt PowerShell as a core tool.
PowerShell Tools for PKI and Secure Boot with Richard Hicks
Q: What are some of the most common misconfigurations you see in ADCS and why are they dangerous?
The most frequent issues include templates with client authentication and subject names misconfigured, leading to credential-like certificates that can be used to impersonate users; many organizations lack proper auditing and end up revoking or reissuing large numbers of certificates after discovering the problem.
