It’s definitely beneficial to attend technology events so you can talk to other IT Pro’s. This past weekend I presented a session at PowerShell Saturday in Atlanta and while at the speaker dinner I made a comment about a new version of the PowerShell Community Extensions being released.
The only cmdlet that’s part of that module that I use all of the time is Out-Clipboard which allows you to paste the output of a PowerShell command into notepad, Word, an email, etc:
Brian Wilhite, another PowerShell enthusiast and speaker gave me a great tip: “You don’t need the Out-Clipboard cmdlet to pipe to the clipboard, just pipe your output to clip.exe”:
I even demonstrated this tip during my session. Brian, thanks again for that awesome tip.

This was an awesome tip provided to me by my good friend Jason Walker, MS PFE. We had a scripting event that used this method as a means to output data to the clipboard. Thanks for highlighting this Mike and sharing with the community, keep up the great work!
