If you're like me, there's something you know a decent amount about regarding PowerShell, but you
just don't get to use it much. Today, it's PowerShell background jobs. If you've been reading my blog currently, then you know I'm right in the middle of a series regarding Splunk. In the series, I'm sending telemetry data from my function template to Splunk. The problem, although slight, is that it's increased the duration, or length of time, the function takes to complete. No surprise. It's running several additional commands where it polls the user and system for information. It's only adding maybe a second more of time to the duration of the function. Still, why not determine if it's time that can be reclaimed. Enter background jobs.

So a while back we had a client that uses a lot of sharepoint sites. The client only used Sharepoint
online, and found it hard to find all the sites in one place. We pointed them to https://YOURDOMAIN.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx which gives a nice overview of sites and teams.
