Since the summer of 2020, the AzureAD PowerShell module provides cmdlets that can help you manage
Conditional access policies. This can give you some nice options to backup, document and restore Conditional access policies. In my opinion, the PowerShell cmdlets aren't all that intuitive, which is the reason I want to show in this post how to backup and restore Conditional Access Policies with PowerShell.

Sometimes it is necessary to check if your powershell module is still up to date. Yes in newer
PowerShell Versions you can choose the following cmdlet: Update-Module (PS-Version5.1). But I wanted to have a function which can compare versions of any powershell module and can also compare any other version. Therefor I did some research in google and found .Net Framework class [version]. Some blogposts later I got the comparing mechanism to check if one version is older than another.

Today's topic is one of those things that I don't know why I've never addressed before. Well, I have
for myself in a manual process. Hopefully you'll find it useful. As you probably know, PowerShell uses a set of profile scripts. These scripts have hard-coded paths and PowerShell runs them in order from broadest to narrowest.

I was talking to a friend the other day and he was using my user experience script in his RMM system
for a while. He told me that he loved having the ability to measure the users experience but he had some clients with in-house applications that would write errors to the system log constantly, or he had other clients with crashing services that could not be prevented.

I was working on a PowerShell project recently where I needed to reference a large number of items -
more than I wanted to add as an array or hash table in script, or even an external file like an XML document. So I searched for a portable, standalone database that I could distribute with the script and happened across LiteDB, a lightweight, single-file NoSQL database. It seemed the ideal solution as there's a .Net code library for it, and so far I'm pretty impressed.

Jeremy smith shows how he created some custom PowerShell functions to test disk speeds. He details
how he was able to take a manual process and automate it. Prior to Jeremy's automation, this process was done through an old school cmd line utility and then manually parsing out the relevant data. Jeremy was able to automate the process from start to end.
