Today we are going to look at how to generate a DHCP scope statistics HTML report by using
PowerShell. This report will give you one location to see all of your DHCP scope statistics across all of your Windows DHCP servers. It will dynamically pull the DHCP servers and associated DHCP scopes within your Active Directory domain. This report will help you keep an eye on the usage of all of your DHCP scopes so you can prevent scopes from filling up. With this PowerShell script there is no need to import a list of DHCP servers or hard code them in a variable. I recommend setting this up as a recurring scheduled task so that the report runs without the need for manual intervention.

In this blog post we are going to have a look at how you can create, manage, apply, and remove VM
Checkpoints in Hyper-V using PowerShell. Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) checkpoints are one of the great benefits of virtualization. Before Windows Server 2012 R2, they were known as virtual machine snapshots. VM Checkpoints in Hyper-V allow you to save the system state of a VM to a specific time and then revert back to that state if you need to. This is great if you are testing software and configuration changes, or if you have a demo environment, which you want to reset.

One of PowerShell's core design principles is to allow the end-user to jump right in with little to
no shell experience and hit the ground running. However, PowerShell can let you get creative too. For example, did you know you can call upon the .NET classes library in Windows to enhance your PowerShell experience? One of those ways is to use .NET to teach PowerShell how to speak to you!
