Due to COVID-19 and social distancing, I have found myself camping a lot more than in previous years. One problem that has brought with it is the high probability of being somewhere with no cell phone data service or poor cell phone data. Couple with my incredibly poor memory, I have often forgotten to turn off servers to save on cost in my dev or test environment until I’m out in the woods. Also, I wanted the ability to use Google Voice as well as Siri in my car or even at home, to turn off, turn on, or check the status of my servers in my Azure tenants.

A few weeks ago, an Iron Scripter PowerShell scripting challenge was posted. The challenge involved wide directory listings. Which always makes me think “open wide”, which leads me to “Open Up Wide” by Chase. (I used to play trumpet and Chase was THE band back in the day). Anyway, solving the challenge most likely involves...

So today I’m tackling two monitoring blogs again. We’re going to have a small script that checks if all devices currently have drivers installed, and if they are not in a alerting state.

I was recently talking with some friends in MSPGeek about Password pushing options, and that it’s kind of strange of relying on a third party closed service to generate and send passwords to clients. You’re not 100% in control and often it misses some form of functionality like a password generator or somesuch. As an […] The post Automating with PowerShell: Creating your own password push appeared first on CyberDrain.

One of the features I truly enjoy about PowerShell, is the ability to have it present information that I need in a form that I want. Here’s a good example. Running Get-Process is simple enough and the output is pretty complete. But one thing that would make it better for me, is that sometimes I...

Introduction Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a service in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) that enables you to manage, control, and monitor access to important resources in your organization. These resources include resources in Azure AD, Azure, and other Microsoft Online Services such as Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Intune. The feature provides just-in-time privileged access to Azure AD and Azure resources, and it can be customized per role to for example require approval by designated approvers as well as enforce multi-factor authentication when activating a role.

I used a long time before looking into Pester to test my code. Or, worded differently, for the longest time I was not testing my code. But as soon as I started creating PowerShell modules that was more than just small time projects, I had to step up the production quality. As soon as I had written some tests, I wanted to have those tests run every time I did a pull request. This helps me catch bugs before publishing the new version of my module, and saves me from a ton of stress.

Ever since the very first version of Windows PowerShell, the built-in help material has been awesome. Each cmdlet carefully documented with good examples to illustrate the most common use cases. Good English writing as well as best-practice PowerShell.But every now and then there is an error. Some simple, some more complex. Some occasionally have some less than great grammar or miss out a useful example of the cmdlet.
