We are in a modern world now, especially in the DBA world. There are so many tools out there that have a GUI attached to them and that is fantastic to have such choices. In the new world, you want to get more done than ever before in the same amount of time. This session is NOT about replacing every DBA tool with PowerShell, it is ALL about adding PowerShell to your vast array of tools. I will show you how easy it is to get more done without clicking around a GUI and you'll exactly what you without clicking on tabs. You can even make changes across databases and instances. Join me in a demo filled session to show you how much you really can get out of adding PowerShell to your list of tools and you will never regret it. So many tools and not enough time, but you don't have to write any PowerShell to get where you want to go, and you'll get there faster.
