Thread: Building this notebook ↗Use PowerShell's own parser to catch typos and broken brackets in a whole folder of scripts, before anything runs.
Thread: PowerShell craft ↗My brand-new blog got an F on a security header scan. Here's why, what actually matters for a static site, and the fixes that work on DigitalOcean App Platform.
Thread: Building this notebook ↗A dry run that quietly lies to you. Why ForEach-Object's property shorthand returns nothing under -WhatIf, and the one-line fix.
Thread: PowerShell craft ↗When Graph cmdlets start throwing assembly errors, it's almost always mixed module versions. This removes every copy and puts back one matching set.
Thread: The Microsoft Graph toolbox ↗Clean old user profiles off shared PCs and servers through Win32_UserProfile, so the folder and the registry entry go together and nobody gets a TEMP profile.
Thread: Spring cleaning for Windows PCs ↗Find the old Outlook .ost files nobody is using any more and reclaim the space, without touching the ones Outlook has open.
Thread: Spring cleaning for Windows PCs ↗Clear old temp files from the usual suspects and run Disk Cleanup unattended, with an age threshold and a -WhatIf that shows how much you'd get back.
Thread: Spring cleaning for Windows PCs ↗When Windows Update is greyed out or just won't run, check all the policy values and services that can block it, and put them back the way Windows shipped.

Thread: Games and gear ↗A read-first WinRM check that tells you why remote PowerShell won't connect, fixes it only when you ask, and doubles as a ConfigMgr compliance script.
Thread: Windows Update, untangled ↗Clear the Windows DNS client cache locally or across a list of machines, and know when a flush will actually fix anything.
Thread: Spring cleaning for Windows PCs ↗For the Entra-joined PC that never showed up in Intune. Check it's ready, kick off enrollment, and see why it failed if it does.
Thread: Getting devices into Intune ↗The Settings app route into Intune, which of its three options to pick, and why the device might show up as personal when you didn't want it to.
Thread: Getting devices into Intune ↗Integrity-test every ZIP, 7z, RAR and TAR in a folder, then optionally repack the good ones into a single format. Broken archives never get touched.
Thread: Archive conversion workshop ↗Find out which Chrome version a machine is really running, whether an update is stuck waiting on a restart, and kick Google's updater into checking now.
Thread: Spring cleaning for Windows PCs ↗Stop the spooler, clear out the wedged job files, and bring it back up, with -WhatIf and an option to leave recent jobs alone.
