As a shell, PowerShell is intended to work with native commands in addition to cmdlets. However,
native commands have their own unique syntax, sometimes containing many subcommands and parameters/switches, and are often like its own language. Wouldn't it be great to have an option to leverage your PowerShell skills to use new commands or be even more proficient with native commands you are already using?

maintaining a secure environment and heading off bad actors early. Thankfully, AD offers the information necessary to track these changes, despite being difficult to parse and understand at times. LAPS is a great example of this.

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.

I like OneDrive. It allows me to keep my data secure and always synchronized. If things go wrong, I
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.
