I wanted to let everyone know as of this morning you can add and remove Teams and Teams Channels with only 1 line of code and an Excel Worksheet using 365AutomatedLab. It’s as simple as this: And to remove those teams: Let me know what you think. Do you want the ability to add more […]

Let me set the stage… previously we had a batch file in our startup script to add/remove network drives. It worked great and didn’t have any issues. We moved away from an on-site file server to a cloud solution with local cache. They created a new batch file for us which worked perfectly… until we […]

Read-Only Friday August 4, 2023 Do you still have any Windows Server 2012R2 or earlier in production? This is a friendly reminder that they will be going End Of Life October 10 of this year. If you do have any in production, what is your plan to decommission them? Do you still need the server, […]

Have you ever needed to create multiple 365 Groups/Security/Distribution at one time? This could be for a new department, new office, or even a new campaign that only certain people need access and email to. I won’t even go into the time it would take to do this in the GUI, but how would you […]

Well, here it is!  Module Monday, but this one is a module I’ve been working on for a bit and figured it’s time to put it out to the community for others to enjoy and improve. Have you had to test PowerShell scripts on your 365 tenant and really didn’t want to use your production environment, […]

Ever needed to check a computer or server and see how much disk space is being used? It could be for multiple reasons such as are any disks too low on space, too much available space assigned(think VMs where you need storage for a new server, but assume all of your storage is tied up), […]

Want to have some fun with Office 365, but don’t want to mess up your production environment? Or what about being able to try out scripts and not having to brace yourself as you run them and hope they don’t clear out all your data? Now you can do whatever you want with the Microsoft […]

Tired of guessing or remembering which prefix to use when setting up a new computer? Or what about when you by accident fat finger it, and you have to redo it? Or even, you have multiple people in your department, and you want to make sure everyone is creating them the same way? This function […]

I know it’s Friday, but I’m changing it a bit up today. I just created this little script that I think could be helpful to others. This one isn’t for the masses, but I have a feeling it will help out more than a few people, and trigger some more ideas for script ideas. What […]

It’s Read-Only Friday, and what better thing to do than read and help out the PowerShell, DevOps, and IT community by purchasing a book of 2 from the DevOps collective?!! https://leanpub.com/u/devopscollective https://leanpub.com/psconfbook3 If I’m missing others that donate to the DevOps, please let me know.

Can you believe it’s Wednesday already? I can’t either, week is flying by. Could it be the excitement of the PowerShell + Devops Global Summit coming up in a few weeks? Quite possibly! If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, I highly recommend it. With that said, these next 3 weeks I’ll be highlighting speakers […]

We made it to Wednesday, so now we get a PowerShell One-Liner to make your life easier. Here’s the scenario, HR comes to you and says you need to forward Mark Smith email to John Ralph as soon as possible. Instead of opening up your 365 Exchange Admin portal and logging in, then finding Mark […]

Hope you had a great weekend, and are ready for today’s Module Monday. Are you using Duo security? Or looking at Duo for your company? Then you need this module. It’s called DuoSecurity. Why not automate the process of onboarding/terminating employees or removing old phone authenticators? What about reporting on who is in which groups, […]

Today’s one-liner may not be a direct PowerShell command, but it can be run inside the PowerShell terminal. Are you using Intune, or looking into using Intune? If your already using it, you know by default when you add a user it sets them as a local administrator(I’m not sure exactly why, but that can […]

It’s Friday, and I’m going to keep this one short in sweet copy. I’ve mentioned this module before, but it is so helpful if you use any of the products, that I want to make sure you don’t miss out on it! Yes, I know it’s Read-Only Friday, but this module will step up your […]

Are you using VMWare? Ever had to troubleshoot why a VM isn’t working? Or need to know the status of a virtual machine? If you haven’t used PowerCLI before(I know I’ve mentioned it previously), check out this one liner. What this does is first finds the server you are looking for with “servername.” Then it […]

Hope everyone had a great week and weekend! Took last week off as we went to Disney and I ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon. If you’re looking for your first half marathon, or a fun running experience, this is it! Then decided yesterday to run another Half Marathon with some friends, but in slightly […]

Ever wanted a quick and easy way to see what operating systems all your computers are running to the detail of the version number? Then wanting to know the last time they logged on? PowerShell provides a powerful and efficient way to perform this task. In this blog post, we will show you how to […]

Hope you had a great weekend! And since the weekend is over, it’s now time for Module Monday. We have a great one today that I feel you will see immediate ROI from using it. uGit by James Brundage is a PowerShell module that provides users with a simplified interface to interact with Git repositories. […]

It’s been a little bit for a Read-Only Friday, and need your input. Do you like the 3 days of smaller posts, or would you rather have one more in depth post a week, possibly every 2 weeks? They would be targeted to real life examples using PowerShell or scenarios in IT and how to […]

I’m just going to cut to the chase on this one.. How about that? Nice little RegEx in there too! Yes this does work, as I used it this morning for a real life solution. Download Doug Finke’s PowerShellAI module, get your OpenAI API key, and start having some fun! And if for some reason […]

It’s Monday after the Super Bowl so we are going to keep this lite.  Today’s module isn’t business related at all, unless your in the Lego business. It’s a great module that helps you view and maintain your Lego collection.  With that said, welcome the Brickset Module. I’ve already been playing with it and really like […]

This week’s One-Liner is brought to you by no other than Steve Lee. I can’t take credit for it, but want to make sure others see it. The only caveat is that it needs to be run in an elevated session. It does what you think it does… installs PowerShell 7, using the MSI and […]

Monday, already? Yup, but at least you get a new Module Monday today. This is one is for anyone who does any broadcasting, whether live or pre recorded. I’ve barely even touched the surface of what you can do with it, but with this module you can really get your feet wet. To give you […]

We are back, and hope you had a great weekend! Today’s module is one Jeff Hicks had told me about last week and I started playing with it. It’s a neat module that makes managing your tasks easy. His module is called PSWorkItem. It allows you to create predefined categories with a description, that you […]
