Use PowerShell to create report of a DTS Compliant NPS log

One of our customers had issues authenticating clients using NPS. One of the first things you do is... I read the NPS logs, and they were DTS Compliant formatted, a bit of a pain to read and search 🙁 So, I used PowerShell to create a nice log for me in either a GridView or an Excel file. In this blog post, I will show you how!

Disabling Idle Power Save using Intune and PowerShell

One of our customers sought a solution to disable Idle Power Save on their Realtek USB GbE network adapters using Intune. Because of that setting, their users were disconnected from their Remote Desktop sessions multiple times during the day. This blog post will show you how to disable that setting using Intune, a Windows app (Win32), or a Remediation script.

And then… I became a Microsoft MVP in the PowerShell area

This busy week ended with something that I will never forget: I received an email with the subject "Welcome to the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Program"!
