Using Pop-Location and Push-Location in PowerShell
At PSConfEU, somebody asked me if I used Pop-Location and Push-Location. Well, I know it's there, but no. 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you how to use it and that it might come in handy!
PSConfEU 2024
I attended my first PSConfEU event in Antwerp, Belgium, and had a great time! In this blog post, I will recap the four days and what I saw and learned during those!
Using Debug and Verbose parameters in PowerShell
It's one of those things you forget, and you can get a lot more output when running scripts that will help you find out why things are not working as you expected. This small blog post will show you how to get more verbose and debug information.
Using Measure-Command and Measure-Object in PowerShell
Measuring is always a good idea for grasping things, such as how long it sometimes takes, how many objects there are in a specific directory, how much space something takes up on a hard drive, etc. In this blog post, I will show you how the Measure-Command and Measure-Object cmdlets work and how you can use them to your advantage.
Discovering the required Microsoft Graph Permissions using PowerShell or Graph Explorer
When using Microsoft Graph to connect to Azure, Intune, etc., you have to grant the correct permissions and use the proper (and safe 😉 ) scopes to connect. This blog post will show a few ways to gather that information.
PowerShell Arrays
You probably use it all the time in your scripts, but how do they work? In this blog post, I will show some simple examples of what you can do with them 🙂
Keep Microsoft Teams status Available instead of away using PowerShell
It is one of the things I hear my colleagues, and even my girlfriend, mention regularly... Why does Microsoft Teams think I'm away while I'm not / My PC isn't locked yet... I read a few solutions, setting your status duration to a date in the future, etc... Didn't work 🙁 What does work is running my simple PowerShell scripts, which I will show you in this blog post 🙂
Parameters for PowerShell Scripts and Functions
Using parameters for your Scripts and Functions is very powerful. You don't have to hardcode things in them, making running them from a command line easier. This blog post will show you the parameters I use in most of my scripts and how they work.
Deprecated PowerShell Modules and Azure AD Graph retirement
You created a script or function a while back that people in the company use a lot, and suddenly... They come to you telling you that it doesn't work anymore. 🙁 The module you used has become deprecated, cmdlets don't all work anymore, etc. In this blog post, I will show the three most prominent modules that have become deprecated and where you can find good information about the successor to adjust your scripts.
