Jackson, Jared

I am the Help Desk Coordinator for a University in East Texas. I support a campus that includes roughly 1000 end user systems. I utilize SCCM, along with PDQ Deploy, to manage our campus client inventory and software deployments / imaging. I am in the process of implementing Powershell as our primary source for scripting. I enjoy watching football and working cars in my spare time.
