New blog post series! 📰 Everything wrong with MSIX, starting with how it cannot be used in a system context, such as system services. This affects WinGet, PowerShell, and a lot of other software 👇💻 awakecoding.com/posts/everyt...

Awesome Copilot has a #PowerShell instructions file for use with #AI agents. Are there other ones available as well that are more comprehensive? For example, covering more of what's described by PSScriptAnalyzer or by the community?

Was anybody else using #AIShell before it was deprecated at the end of January? Will you be replacing it with another #AI powered chat tool that isn't project based (e.g., #Claude Code CLI, GitHub #Copilot CLI)? #PowerShell github.com/powershell/a...

In the absence of another mechanism for querying the version information for the #Azure Connected Machine Agent, I am thankful for @kaidojarvemets.bsky.social and his post on how to retrieve this info using #PowerShell from the Release Notes page

With the announcement that Polyglot Notebooks is being retired at the end of March, I sure am thankful for @harmveenstra.bsky.social and his blog post on adding a custom PowerShell kernel for use with the Jupyter notebook extension in VS Code. aka.ms/pgnb-dep

🚨 Breaking change in Invoke-WebRequest that could impact your automations. I wrote a helper script to find where Invoke-WebRequest is and isn't using -UseBasicParsing. It also works for any other cmdlets/parameters combo. gist.github.com/mdowst/9d00f... #PowerShell #Automation #Scripting #DevOps

What are you using for #PowerShell module scaffolding? Seems that most tools that I have found are in need of some TLC. What am I missing?

If you're looking for some truly amazing humans from the #PowerShell community to follow, @dougfinke.bsky.social has been doing work curating a handy list: clearsky.app/dougfinke.bs...

The internet is really great sometimes 💖 Thanks to @jsnover.com on Reddit 10 years ago, I was able to solve a #PowerShell problem while following @kevmar.bsky.social amazing article on handling errors that now lives on #MicrosoftLearn 🤯 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers...

I love newer versions of #PowerShell, but I still regularly have to support #Windows PowerShell because that's the default shell for systems like #SCCM and #Intune. How can I take advantage of the new PowerShell other than executing scripts with pwsh.exe and the -File or -Command parameters?

A really useful article (and quick read) on how to get started with .NET within your #PowerShell scripts including how to decipher the defintions. Thank you @alexandair.bsky.social and @tobiaspsp.bsky.social!!

Does anyone know how to get the access token that's in use with the Microsoft.Graph #PowerShell module?

Why do I have issues using the #Exchange Online #PowerShell module (v3.7.1) when I use a wildcard for the cmdlet within $PSDefaultParameterValues? I'm able to connect, but my permission scopes are wrong and I can only see my own mailbox.

How things are feeling these days with #PowerShell and #MicrosoftGraph

@funbucket.dev is it possible to use PSHelp.Copilot for large modules like Az or Microsoft Graph without having to specify each of their dependent modules? I’d like to be able to ask questions that might span more than one of the smaller modules

"If you type help, PowerShell first looks for an alias named help, then a function named Help, and finally a cmdlet named Help. It runs the first help item that it finds. If your session contains a cmdlet and a function, both named Get-Map, when you type Get-Map, PowerShell runs the function."

It's not a new resource, but in the battle against using backticks for line breaks in #PowerShell, I find this guide on natural line continuation characters by @markekraus.com to be the de facto source

2025 is going to be the year where I learn Pester! I'm starting with PSKoans and the #PesterBook by @adbertram.bsky.social. Are there other resources that helped you with learning this #PowerShell framework?

If you're looking for a simple, modern, and interactive #PowerShell module to help you with activating your #Entra PIM roles, I have personally found Graph.EasyPIM by @rakhesh.com to be a solid choice!!

I can't believe how easy @microsoft.com has made the transition from the AzureAD #PowerShell module to the #Entra module with just these two cmdlets: - Enable-EntraAzureADAlias - Test-EntraScript learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers...

Cool! If you want this with object pipeline support, use ugit. ~~~PowerShell git branch | ? -not IsCurrentBranch | ? BranchName -ne "main" | git branch -d ~~~ Bonus points: this will prompt for confirmation. github.com/StartAutomat...

Couldn't figure out how to search a user's posts from the web until I found this blog post: from:user.name "foo bar"
