Looking back at the scripts I created the last year, certain things always come back in most of them. In this blog post, I will show you a few and explain them.

Sometimes you have scripts that require specific versions of modules, or if the script is started with Administrator privileges, you can add checks for that in the script itself or... You can use the built-in #Requires statement for that. In this blog post, I will show you how.

Retrieving objects in your scripts is something that you do regularly. It takes a long time to download and process in larger environments, wasting CPU and time. This blog post will explain how to speed up scripts by filtering server-side before downloading all results and filtering afterward.

Every script I write has variables in it, but there are different types of variables. This short blog post will show a few types you can use in your scripts.

It's always nice to have some screen output while running scripts interactively, in this blog post I will show you a few ways to do that.

I use Visual Studio Code for writing PowerShell scripts, which makes formatting and writing so much easier. Even though it shows you things that you shouldn't do, for example using aliases, you can get even more tips and hints to make your code even better. This blog post will show you how to use the PSScriptAnalyzer module which can give you some additional hints that Visual Studio Code doesn't show you.

Over the years, I learned many PowerShell tricks but stopped using a few because they were outdated or not that smart to use anymore performance-wise. In this blog post, I will share a few of them 🙂 (These are just a few, I will write a new blog post with others in the future)
