Snippets

Quarantine week 1

Here in Austria, we have homeoffice quarantine since one week for all people which do not operate critical infrastructure. With actual 3000+ infected cases (22.3.2020 8:00) we all understand, that the situation is critical! Time to learn something new and invest time into PowerShell.

SecretManagement Preview 2 released

Microsoft invested some love into the popular Secrets management Module. CmdLets have been renamed, to fit PowerShell naming-standards, secure input and testing vaults has been implemented. Watchout this module, we expect more to come. Link
