Love Badminton! Great way to keep active.
I guess you never know what you'll be doing.
Unless you're that person, because it'll be the same for years more to come.
At a previous org I had to write a script that did an SFTP grab of some CSV files, build PDFs based on them, and shuffle them off to some shared drive internally somewhere. Because someone couldn't be bothered to change their workflow of 20+ years...
You can customize your prompt in PowerShell to accomplish this, in a variety of ways. Here's just one example:

I previously lived in Missouri, US and I do not miss tornados or siren tests one bit.
Published a new module called AvaloniaUIShell, (the world's first?) cross-platform desktop GUI framework for PowerShell.
github.com/mdgrs-mei/Av...
It's using the same mechanism as WinUIShell and takes care of all threading and non-blocking UI operations.
#PowerShell
Talk #3 for #PSHSummit26: "Markdown Madness: Static Sites for Fun & Profit"
You write #Markdown already. What if it became a blog? A resume? A full docs site?
Jekyll, MkDocs, Hugo, Docusaurus, jsonresume -we're going on a tour! Sprinkle in some #PowerShell. Bring snacks. cloud.umami.is/q/18X...

Crucially, this is a far cry from a polished or feature-rich application. Just a burgeoning idea with some future plans/ideas. But I've been trying to get better at putting this up quickly and not waiting forever for them to be "good enough" (i.e., never, in my mind).
So many orgs are sitting in a hybrid state between their on-prem and cloud Microsoft infrastructure. But where to manage the objects? Some are here, some are there. This little idea will hopefully grow into something that can be helpful to folks in that situation.

If you don’t already know, there is a ‘Learning PowerShell’ section on Microsoft Learn. It’s truly a great start (or continuation) of your PowerShell journey. In this blog post, I will highlight the different chapters.

Always like a peek into things in which I'm not extensively experienced.
Ah well that changes everything, doesn't it? That takes me a bit out of my depth.
Is domain specified by FQDN not NetBIOS name?
If specifying a target SPN, does it include the desired realm?
Unfortunately I won't be much help past here. But still curious to hear when you get it worked out.
Yes, "Define host name-to-Kerberos realm mappings", it's under the same Kerberos set of policies: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...
"This policy setting configures the Kerberos client's mapping to KDC proxy servers for domains based on their DNS suffix names. If you enable this policy setting, the Kerberos client will use the KDC proxy server for a domain when a domain controller cannot be located based on configured mappings."
There's a policy "Specify KDC proxy servers for Kerberos clients"
Does the domain to which the machine is joined have a group policy object configured for Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Kerberos ?
You ever just stop to think about all the little things we kinda take for granted in our jobs? I touch stuff like Markdown, JSON, mermaid charts, etc. constantly every day without thinking about it and today I was just like, huh, it's nice that we have stuff like this.
Defuddle now has a website!
This means you can use Defuddle anywhere to get the main content of a page in Markdown format.
You can simply add "defuddle.md" before any URL, use it via curl, Skills, CLI, or add it to your app via NPM.
A lot of people agree with you, and that's why that is something that the PowerShell team is hoping to look at this year, last I heard. If I got that wrong from the community call, someone step in an correct me.
Tara asked me about PSReadLine and I said, “Good question. I'll tell you on Wednesday.”
If you use #PowerShell, you’re already using PSReadLine… you just might not know it.
Tomorrow, well cover:
What it is. Why it matters. How to level it up.
To whomever wrote pretty much any of the Solarwinds Rest APIs with which I've interacted...same.
I think that's more of a frustration with Exchange Online than it is PowerShell, no?
What's the retention policy applied to the mailbox/Purges folder? Is there a litigation hold on the mailbox?
My QoL is gonna be improving 📈🚀
In all seriousness, you just made my day! This is awesome and I will *definitely* be using this. I spend a huge amount of time daily in various PS sessions with anywhere from 1 to 3+ different MS cloud services connected so this is huge.
(And yes, many of those GH issues are very familiar)
PowerShell Summit 👀 I'm back!
Doing a live #PowerShell Podcast session on what it really takes to publish every week: wins, awkward moments, near-misses, plus a live recording.
April 13–16 | Bellevue, WA
Tickets: PowerShell.org #PSHSummit
Is this your first Summit?
Don't misunderstand me -- I strongly dislike Windows as an OS, particularly in more recent years. I'm just saying that not everyone can "just pick *nix tooling". Unfortunately real life has more facets and considerations than a perfect world.
And an age range of end users who make up a large portion of the workforce are most familiar with Windows endpoints.
So then you need a toolkit to manage fleets of those devices at scale. I'm unaware of any major *nix-based tooling that excels at enterprise Windows fleet management.
