If you follow my work on this site, then you know that I write a whole lot of PowerShell-related
content. One of the expressions that I tend to use in my PowerShell scripts on a regular basis is dollar sign underscore dot, (or $_.). Recently, I had someone ask me what those characters meant, and I realized that I have never really taken the time to explain the significance of this series of characters, or why they are used so frequently. So I want to take the opportunity to do that now.

The toolkit is a collection of scripts and tools that check the internal pieces of Active Directory
so you don't have to. It is not a replacement for tools already in place such as DCDiag. Instead, this toolkit comprises tools that my co-writers and I have found nowhere else. The goal of this module is to enable you to know when the core pieces of Active Directory aren't working as expected so you can take action.

This module is useful for storing and retrieving passwords and secrets in Azure Key Vaults. This
allows for passwords and secrets to be shared among users via Azure AD authentication and policies with the relatively inexpensive Azure Key Vault resource. While communications are always encrypted and stored securely when working with the Azure Key Vault, further security can be utilized to independantly encrypting the passwords before they are transmitted to Azure.

Introduced in 2006, Microsoft's PowerShell made an immediate, positive impact on its server products
and in the lives of the people who administer them. The world's first object-oriented shell, the first designed-from-scratch shell for the Windows operating system, and now a cross-platform management shell, PowerShell's technical achievement is significant. It's easy to look at where PowerShell is today, and not realize or remember the long and sometimes-difficult road it took to get there.
