Ah, telemetry. Very ubiquitous today, telemetry is collected from many software companies, device
vendors and so on. Often telemetry includes PII, personally identifiable information, which of course is a no-go. This post aims to explain how you can responsibly collect telemetry for your PowerShell module to track its usage, version distribution and much more. I will show you the steps you need to take to use Azure ApplicationInsights to collect and Power BI to visualize your telemetry.

PowerShell seems to have the ability to automate just about anything. Active Directory (AD) is no
different. By downloading a freely available PowerShell module, an IT admin can manage every facet of AD and build powerful scripts to save time on all kinds of tasks. The best part is that knowledge of LDAP, ADSI and other typically developer-focused terms is not necessary. The PowerShell cmdlets take care of that stuff for you.

One of the new features of Hyper-V in Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 is called
PowerShell Direct. PowerShell Direct lets you remotely connect to a Virtual Machine running on a Hyper-V host, without any network connection inside the Virtual Machine. PowerShell Direct uses the Hyper-V VMBus to connect inside the Virtual Machine. This feature is convenient if you need it for automation and configuration for Virtual Machines or if you for example messed up network configuration inside the virtual machine and you don?t have console access.

The Az module has feature parity with AzureRM, but uses shorter and more consistent cmdlet names.
Scripts written for the AzureRM cmdlets won’t automatically work with the new module. To make the transition easier, Az offers tools to allow you to run your existing scripts using AzureRM. No migration to a new command set is ever convenient, but this article will help you get started on transitioning to the new module.
