Powershell Usability Study

Microsoft Usability is conducting a study focusing on the remoting feature of PowerShell version 2 from July 22 to July 29, 2008. This is a great opportunity for IT administrators who have experience working with PowerShell to provide feedback and help improve the user experience of PowerShell version 2.

The study will be conducted in a lab setting on Microsoft’s main campus in Redmond, Washington. It is important for you to know that you do not need to prepare anything for this. We want to learn from you, the experts, to determine what needs to be improved in our software.

If you are interested or know someone who could be interested in participating, please email us at uccoord@microsoft.com with Powershell in subject line. For information on other studies and to learn more about Microsoft’s User Research program email us.

A collection of LDAP Filter Info

I often find myself googling for LDAP filter info. This time I decided to post the resulting set of websites I hit for this info.

NOTE: MS release the Specs for Active Directory’s LDAP Compliance here. GREAT DOC!
