I am a software developer working primarily in .NET technologies such as C#, WCF, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, etc. I am also a Microsoft Windows PowerShell MVP (since 2006). You can usually find me on StackOverflow answering PowerShell questions. I am also the project coordinator and a primary contributor to the PowerShell Community Extensions project on CodePlex.

Howdy Kieth, I just started using Powershell, and so far I love it. I used to script on Unix machines in the 1990s, and its good to see that kind of power in .NET now.
I also see you’re in Colorado; I’m in Boulder myself. If you’re at any events in the denver area, it would be nice to meet. I have never met anyone with +20k reputation!
I used to attend the Boulder .NET user group meetings (even presented on PowerShell several years back). Does this group still meet? I mostly attend the Northern Colorado .NET user group with occassional trips down to Denver for the Visual Studio user group meetings.
Dear Keith Hill,
Excuse my bad English, I am Spanish.
I am writing for his article entitled: Win32_PhysicalMedia returns incorrect serial number on Vista or higher when to run as standard user.
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/623282/win32-physicalmedia-returns-incorrect-serial-number-on-vista-or-higher-when-run-as-standard-user#
I have this problem today and I wonder if he found the solution to this or if Microsoft will comment the solution.
Thanks in advance. My email is: aferreirag@nvs.com.ve and my name Angel Ferreira.
Sorry if you upset, but please tell me if this notice was received by you.
Greetings and thank you.
As far as I can tell this is still a problem even on Windows 8. To work-around this I think you will need to access the hard drive serial number using a different mechanism than WMI.

I just read your “Effective Windows Powershell”. Excellent book! I’m looking forward to poking around your site, finding some books of yours I can buy.
