In a recent customer project we needed to detect whether the clients where connected via Wired,

I was recently writing some advanced hunting queries for Microsoft Defender ATP to search for the
execution of specific PowerShell commands. If you are just looking for one specific command, you can run query as shown below. But if you are looking for several functions, then there is going to be a lot of manual editing, and so the idea was born to use PowerShell to help me generate an advanced hunting query.

By: Anthony Bartolo submitted:Jun 16 2022
Sometimes there is a need to delete Microsoft Teams cache to quicken the adoption of an in-band
policy change or simply troubleshoot an issue. The challenge here is that the cache for Microsoft Teams is in multiple directories. This can be done manually but would result in a slow and tedious process. Again, we turn to PowerShell to automate this process and this time it's a one-liner that addresses this opportunity.

Shameless self promotion time. PSDates provides a set of tools to help you better work with dates
and times in PowerShell. It contains function to help you find specific date formats, get certain dates based on other dates (first/last day of the month or year, patch Tuesday, etc). I also has functions for working with timezones, unix time, WMI time, crontabs.

Most articles that are written, regardless of who writes them, either focus on PowerShell or Azure
CLI. Two of the most popular ways to automate Azure workloads are always presented separately. Why? Azure CLI and PowerShell work well together right out of the box for all Azure services. How can we bring the two automation tools together?
