It's being used in every PowerShell session, the PowerShell Profile. In this blog post, I will show you what it does, what you can use it for, and how I use it.

Experts Live Netherlands 2023
This week the annual Dutch Experts Live meeting was there again in Den Bosch, I was there together with some of my colleagues from NEXXT, and this is my impression of the event 🙂
Test if Microsoft services TCP ports are accessible
In a previous blog post, I showed how to retrieve all the Microsoft Services FQDNs, ports, and IP addresses. It's nice to know those in secure environments where not everything can go onto the internet, but how can you test if they are accessible? This blog post will show how to test most of these services using PowerShell.
Retrieve Email DNS records using PowerShell
I have been doing a lot of Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online migrations over the last few years, and because of that, I use mxtoolbox.com a lot for querying MX, SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records. Wouldn't getting a simple overview of those records in a PowerShell function be convenient? This blog post will show you how 🙂
Retrieving all cmdlets and help URLs from the new Microsoft Graph API modules
Things are changing... The Azure AD and MSOL modules will be getting a deprecated status. This was initially set for June 2022 and postponed until after December 2022. It would be best if you started updating scripts, be prepared for that. In this blog post, I wanted to show you how to collect all the new cmdlets and their description, synopsis (A summary), and the help URL for more information.
Get 365 Service Health status using PowerShell and MS-Graph
We have all been there, you're working on something (Microsoft Endpoint Manager, for example), and things don't work like they are supposed to. Strange errors, you're starting to doubt yourself... And then you see something in your newsfeed (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) that there's an issue and that Microsoft is working on it... You lost a few hours troubleshooting your issue. Wouldn't it be nice to get notified when starting PowerShell if there's an issue you should be aware of? This blog post will cover just that 🙂
Microsoft 365 License overview per user
You can add many licenses to your 365 tenant, but getting a good overview of all users' assigned licenses and what each license plan contains is challenging. I wrote a PowerShell script for that, and it outputs all the users with their assigned SKU (Short for Stock-Keeping-Unit). In Microsoft terms, a license SKU predefines a license's properties, including Product/Version/Features) in a CSV file.
