as a PowerShell remoting protocol. Unfortunately, this is not a topic that typically comes up for Windows-centric IT Pros. I know this is definitely true in my case, and a deficiency I have been working on. On the plus side, Windows 10 ships with the OpenSSH client installed and ready to go. But what about the OpenSSH Server? On Windows platforms, you need to enable and configure this element if you want to use SSH remoting in PowerShell. Naturally, I'd like to do this with PowerShell and also remotely. First up, I want to show you how to setup the OpenSSH Server component on Windows 10.

(effectively your own PowerShell Gallery). This will let you share PowerShell modules and scripts amongst other systems and colleagues from an internal resource, using cmdlets from the PowerShellGet module e.g. Install-Module, Install-Script, Find-Module, Find-Script etc.

there can be one or more data centers. Azure Availability Zone is made out of one or more datacentres in the same Azure region, which have independent power, hardware, networking, and cooling.

ways to accomplish this but one of the most used is NuGet. NuGet is a technology that allows you to publish code in the form of packages for others. A NuGet server is a way to make it happen.

implementation for PowerShell. But was I REALLY USING IT? No. Honestly, at the time I wouldn't be able to tell you what it offered me as a command line users. Wow was I wrong. Don't sleep on PSReadLine if you use PowerShell as your preferred prompt. Head over there and give them some love and a star and buckle up, friends!

tutorial is for you. In this tutorial, you're going to learn, step-by-step, how to configure VS code to connect over SSH via key exchange for both a user with sudo rights (homelab in this guide) and the built in root user.

clean up a folder with old log files on an hourly basis. Instead of using your operating system's task scheduler (ie. systemd on Linux, MacOS, or Windows Task Scheduler), you can use PowerShell to create a Timer.

demonstrated during the conference. The presenters showed a method of checking if your O365 domain was being Typosquated. The tool can be found here. The presenters made a Python tool, and I figured to create an alternative in PowerShell.

can always get it back. I use it for almost everything. Even for my PowerShell projects, which are committed to GitHub, so in theory, I shouldn't need that. But every once in a while, I make some stupid mistake and delete a file that has yet not been committed to GitHub, and that's where the OneDrive comes in handy. Quick restore, and we're back. Unfortunately, sometimes things aren't as I would expect them to work. For example, let's have a look at this nice list of markdown files that are documentation for my module called GPOZaurr.

every corner of the Windows world you can imagine. However, there comes a time when you need to start integrating external sites and parties. Thankfully, many services have APIs which allow you to work with web services via code.
