module that lets you create and extract archives, is now available on the PowerShell Gallery.

tested. In this case, the new servers were not deployed in that specific network yet. But... We did want to test the connections before deploying the servers 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you a way how to create listening ports on a machine in order to test the connection from another network using netcat on Linux or portqry on Windows.

example driven tutorial!

feed. This way all uploads, updates to version are traceable. The pipeline will download this package during its build, and publish it as an artefact (named patch) for the deployment stages where the software will copied to and installed on the servers For every environment provided in parameters Environments, the software will be attempted to be installed on the servers via PowerShell scripts. Azure DevOps is the orchestrator, but the PoSh script does the heavy lifting.

cloud management easy and simple. But the end for these two modules is nearby, and the direction is the Graph API. So why not start now and learn what you need to know to migrate your PowerShell [.]

Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) using Run Command. In this blog post we are going to have a look on how you can schedule and run PowerShell and Bash scripts against Azure virtual machines (VMs) using .

Since I release a lot of new or updated PowerShell modules on a weekly/monthly basis, I thought it would be great to send newly released versions straight to Virus Total so I can have them checked before anyone executes them. I also hope to prevent false positives from some antivirus vendors that may tag my modules as malware because they haven't seen the DLL or PowerShell module in this form before. I've seen it happen to DBATools, so why not try and push my modules before users even use them?

beginning roots to the current day. David covers how he got his start, the challenges he faced along the way, and how each opportunity to teach came up. We explore the origins of PSAffirmations and the role that affirmations had when dealing with Imposter Syndrome. Security is David's specialty, so we spent some time picking David's brain about the current state of security and where attention is needed. We discuss whether passion can be taught or if it already must be there. Last, Jordan lets slip that he hates Christmas.
