We are using the wiki to capture raw information that may end up in documentation. There is a lot of
arcane knowledge about PowerShell locked in peoples brains, hidden in blog posts, or buried in long issue or RFC discussions. With this wiki, I want to begin to capture that raw information, curate it, polish it, and eventually create published documentation.

Across numerous scripts and management servers I find I need to know the support dates for different
Windows versions. Updating lists everywhere was a pain. PowerShell flavored Azure Functions to the rescue! Now I just have to update it once, and it's available everywhere.

We have talked to a number of customers over the past months who have run into challenges with
Windows Autopilot - sometimes these were simple configuration issues, other times they were self-inflicted pains (e.g. deleting Azure AD device objects associated with a registered Windows Autopilot device). But as we learn more about the types of challenges encountered, we get better at detecting those issues (and eventually we'll try to prevent them from happening). To help with the detection process, I've published a new script called AutopilotHealthCheck.ps1 to the PowerShell Gallery. You can install it using PowerShell quite easily, along with its pre-requisite modules.

Microsoft released support for private channels on November 4 (also see this note about managing
private channels). Support for PowerShell access to private channels is not yet available in the publicly available version of the Teams PowerShell module. Instead, if you want to work with private channels through PowerShell, you must install the latest version of the Teams module from the PowerShell test gallery. You need to run version 1.0.18 or better to manage private channels.

The Chairman realizes that many IT Pros who take on his challenges are experienced and advanced

Today's challenge is for those of you in the early stages of learning PowerShell. Now, it is time for you to begin scripting. For this beginner challenge, the Chairman would like you to write 2 very simple functions.
