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"!

  1. Harm Veenstra on PowerShell v7.7 GA release and the end of the MSI installer?November 13, 2026

    If it stays MSIX, than that's the folder because of that... And yes, in my group chats with other PowerShell…

  2. dbash13 on PowerShell v7.7 GA release and the end of the MSI installer?November 13, 2026

    Hope the devs revert this new directory structure back, doesn't make sense... A lot of people are complaining about this…

  3. Harm Veenstra on Search your PowerShell Command-Line History and execute one or more entriesNovember 12, 2026

    I think that's running it, viewing old commands and hitting Escape to exit without selecting anything?

  4. PowerShell is fun :)Search your PowerShell Command-Line History and execute one or more entries on PowerShell Out-ConsoleGridView and F7HistoryNovember 6, 2026

    […] F7History works a bit better, but you can’t select multiple items to execute when you hit Enter. […]

  5. Harm Veenstra on Intune Automatic Timezone configuration using PowerShellNovember 5, 2026
