convert, let's say 1000 or more? Would you open each documents seperately and click on save? Bad idea. In this blog post I will give you a PowerShell function at hand which enables you to convert multiple documents with a single command. This procedure is called automation ;-). Let's dive in.

Obsidian. But when working in a Windows Terminal or a standard PowerShell prompt, it's nice to display those .md files in those, too, with all the formatting that Markdown gives you. In this blog post, I will show you how 🙂

either completely public cloud using AAD or they have hosted servers in our private cloud. For these clients I've made the following script to document their Active Directory server settings. I always I want to be in complete control of my clients environment. That means having up to date documentation at the ready.

won't bother; there's lots a smart scripts flying about that can be used to find the webshells, etc. Instead I'm focussing on M365 admin actions.

function which uses the properties on the incoming objects to define the column names, supports the definition of maximum column widths, and outputs either pretty-printed markdown with padded values and aligned columns, or "compressed" markdown without the unnecessary padding included.

PowerShell modules. platyPS, an open-source module, emerged as a solution for generating Markdown-based reference content for PowerShell modules. This article provides a comprehensive guide for using platyPS to create and maintain high-quality reference documentation for your PowerShell module, enhancing the experience for both module authors and users.

come to the right place! In this article, you will learn how to create custom reports of user accounts in your AD environment using the Get-ADObject cmdlet.

learn how various Microsoft services and products work. What may not be well-known is that the docs website is open source! Anyone can contribute, edit, change, add to the documentation available. The question is how to does someone make a change and what happens after they submit a change?

Administrators typically use PowerShell to extract information from a system or database when the data set required has to be presented as a report. But reports in text or CSV files usually lack the flare and fancy styling of HTML.

It seems that that things are changed now, it was there in VSCode preview versions together with the PowerShell preview extension. All the How-To's I found showed me that way of getting it installed/configured. So I played around a little bit with Jupyter and the PowerShell kernel installation and got it working in VSCode, in this blogpost I will show you how to install and configure everything 🙂

ConvertFrom-Markdown which was introduced with PowerShell 6.1?

ready for a few weeks already but wanted to fix some minor bugs that were bugging me just a bit too much. I was thinking that it would be great to add a new PSWrite module into my portfolio so today I'm adding (officially) PSWritePDF.

?? This time we're tackling three issues in one; We're going to monitor traffic usage to see if a connection isn't saturated. We're also going to check if the NIC speed is correct and we're going to check if the connection is metered and if it is alert on it.

of alerting policies. The first getting alerts for M365 or Azure P1/P2 users via the Graph API, these alerts are pretty cool as you can see if users are connecting from tor nodes/VPN nodes, or from stuff like malware linked IPs. Monitoring these alerts actively via your RMM helps you in making sure that users are as safe as they can be.

using Pester to test your code. And if you use PlatyPS to generate markdown documentation like I do, then you have a bunch of example PowerShell code sitting in .md files. But what happens if you rename a command, a parameter, or make some other kind of breaking change?

(https://www.signalwarrant.com/remote-computer-inventory-powershell/) This version uses the Get-CIMInstance CMDlet to get all the information from the WMI classes as opposed to the WMI CMDlets. I have also added some additional information that I thought was relevant. If you can think of anything else that may be good to add let me know, or submit a Pull Request on Github.

Focus on your writing while Retype builds the rest

dev blog to Microsoft's PowerShell documentation, markdown is behind it. Markdown is a light weight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax. Markup languages were designed to be easy to write using a generic text editor and easy to read in its raw from without rendering. Markdown's success is largely in part because it does this very well. It is easy to read without being rendered. It also does not require a bunch of opening and closing tags. Which are difficult to read and time consuming to type. Markdown has an extensive list of features that allow you to; style font, define headings, create tables, create hyperlinks, define code snippets, and much more. Recently, a few new Markdown cmdlets were introduced to PowerShell. These cmdlets allow you to work with Markdown from the terminal. They allow you to render the markdown as HTML or to view it within a terminal window using AsVT100 Encoding. In this blog post, you'll learn how to use these cmdlets to render and output Markdown using PowerShell.

arcane knowledge about PowerShell locked in peoples brains, hidden in blog posts, or buried in long issue or RFC discussions. With this wiki, I want to begin to capture that raw information, curate it, polish it, and eventually create published documentation.
