I would like to kick off this post with a question. Why would Microsoft create something so BB (big
and beautiful) and forget to add an alert to indicate when a license SKU is running low? I have not seen any feature within Office 365 that sends one a notification when a tenant license SKU is low.

In recent days there has been a push to move our team's in-person presentations online. In some
cases we've been asked to record our presentations. Storage has quickly become an issue and so I have been investigating ways to transfer the recorded presentations to the cloud.

Since switching focus to the cloud I am doing more and more pure CLI admin of Windows. One of the
pains of windows admin from a console is accessing the windows eventlog. Since they are not simple text files like Linux, special PowerShell CMDLets must be used to retrieve them. Due to the frequency of needing to do it, one of the biggest challenges is tailing an eventlog while waiting for results.

Maintaining free disk space is crucial when managing servers and systems. As admins, you wouldn't
want to get caught unaware of a 'disk full' situation. We all know where that situation leads - dismounted database, stopped services, inaccessible website, and the list goes on.

So yesterday I was watching a webinar about intune and Autopilot. Autopilot is pretty cool for MSPs
because it becomes fairly simple to give users a nice OOBE. It also makes setup for devices a lot less of a hassle, the only issue that was spoken about during the webinar is that there is still a lot of manual clicking. This is why I took it upon myself to create some automation scripts for AutoPilot.
