Snippets
PSInfo
PSInfo is part of the legendary sysinternals suite. Leo Marek posted an article on PSInfo and how to effectively use it with remote systems and handle the output of mass-queries.
The -contains Operator
I guess there is a big crowd of people which just guessed how the contains operator should work and failed terribly. Read Nicholas Xuan Nguyens post on the -contains operator based on PowerShell 7.2.6.
$PSBoundParameters
There are a lot of features under the hood of PowerShell which are not uncovered by a lot of people. Read Jeffrey Hicks article on $PSBoundParameters and how to make your wrapper-functions much better readable. Microsoft documentation on PSBoundParameters is here.
Find and remove duplicate files with PowerShell
Working with a lot of files may get you to the point where you need to find and remove duplicates. Read Surender Kumars article on this task.
I hope you found some interesting details in this blog. Have a nice week.
