Last year at Microsoft Ignite, the private preview of the ARM template what-if option was
introduced. Since about a month, this new option for PowerShell has gone into public preview and it is really a great new feature, that can help a lot with your template development. In this post, I want to show you how you can use ARM Template what-if deployment, how it can be integrated in a Azure DevOps pipeline and what this means for my PowerShell module ARMHelper.

Now that Pester V5 is out, I decided that I need to make sure that my Pester tests for all my
modules keep on running correctly. Some substantial changes in Pester add new features, changing some things, but that also means all the tests that you have defined most likely will need a small push to get it up and running again on Pester V5. Starting this blog post, I wanted to mention that I am by no means an expert on Pester, but I do use it for some time now for most of my projects. I am using basic functionality, but even that basic functionality stops working once you upgrade from PesterV4 to PesterV5, so I thought I would save you some time and give you a small overview of how you can quickly fix it. It works for me, but you may have to find your way to fix things.

Recently, Microsoft Teams' usage has been increasing tremendously. This increased the need of
generating reports on Microsoft Teams on daily basis. Most admins and executives want to prepare reports on the number of meetings between users, meeting participants, call times, and more. But Microsoft is yet to provide the cmdlets or API to extract those data from Office 365.
