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, but wanted to keep the close as possible for testing accuracy? Then you’ll want 365AutomatedLab in your tool chest. It can also be used to add multiple users to an environment from an excel sheet or add multiple groups to a user per their title from an excel sheet. Hope you check it out and leave some feedback! So much I want to do with it and super excited about this project that I feel can help so many!

I’ll be doing some blog posts and video tutorials in the near future. Any preferences?

Thanks to Andrew Pla for the extra push 😆

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, how many phones they have, or filtering event logs?

So many more things to automate with this module and make your life easier as well as make your company more secure.

If you have used this module before, let me know how you are using it.

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 documentation game ten fold.

AsBuiltReport on Github or you can find them on asbuiltreport.com.

What they have created is multiple modules depending on the product you need documentation on, and with one quick line of code, you get a full breakdown of the product you requesting information on. How about a 144 page document on your Active Directory? Not bad, right?

Check them out, and let me know what you think!

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 different conditions… over 1,000 more feet of elevation gain, 50 degrees colder, and no princesses!

With that said, how are you using PowerShell to track/measure your fitness? I know Adam Driscoll has an old module for Strava from 2018. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but will be this week… and hoping it still works. Would be nice integrating it with PowerShell Universal. Garmin’s is locked down. Anyone exported info Apple/Google Health?

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 includes a set of functions that can be used to perform various Git-related tasks, such as cloning repositories, committing changes, pushing and pulling changes, and creating branches, among others. Here are some of the key features of uGit:

Simple and Easy to Use

uGit provides users with a simplified interface to interact with Git repositories. The module’s functions are easy to use and don’t require users to have extensive knowledge of Git commands. With uGit, users can automate their Git workflows with just a few lines of PowerShell code.

Git Repository Management

uGit includes functions for managing Git repositories, such as cloning, creating, and deleting repositories. The module also provides users with the ability to switch between repositories and set a default repository for their Git workflow.

Committing and Pushing Changes

With uGit, users can easily commit and push changes to their Git repositories. The module includes functions for adding and removing files from the staging area, committing changes, and pushing changes to the remote repository.

Branch Management

uGit includes functions for creating and deleting Git branches, as well as switching between branches. The module also provides users with the ability to merge branches and resolve merge conflicts.

Git Configurations

uGit provides users with the ability to set and manage their Git configurations, such as user name and email, Git editor, and Git credentials.

In conclusion, uGit users can automate their Git workflows and perform complex Git-related tasks with ease. If you’re a PowerShell user looking to integrate Git functionalities into your workflows, uGit is definitely worth checking out.

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 it. I was initially going to make my own, but I rather use his as a base and expand off of it.

If you already have your collection in a csv or xlsx it makes it super easy to add them in, instead of going to the website to add them each. If you already have a brickset account and an excel sheet? I’m working on a script to compare and sync between the two.

Any option on the Brickset website can be done in the module, see how many pieces or mini figs you have, see only certain themed sets, and even pulling instructions for sets you have!

Hope this makes your Lego experience even more fun and you get to learn/practice PowerShell skills while playing with it!

I’ll be working on some dashboards too in the near future. Any certain things you want to see?
