I attended my second PSConfEU event in Malmö, Sweden, and had a great time again! In this (long) blog post, I will recap the four days and share what I saw and learned, the people I met, and things I did during that time.
PowerShell Support Lifecycle
In this small blog post, I would like to highlight the Support Lifecycle of PowerShell. It's good to know if you're using an older version, perhaps for a good reason, which you might need to plan for in advance.
Download Windows Themes using PowerShell
You can switch your Windows Theme using the Settings app and the Microsoft Store, but you can also download them from the Microsoft site using PowerShell to save them locally for easy switching between them. In this blog post, I will show you how.
Using the Polyglot extension from VSCode for creating Jupyter notebooks containing PowerShell code and how to use the PowerShellNotebook module
I did a small demo session at Experts Live NL this week about this topic. In this blog post, I aim to demonstrate the capabilities of the Polyglot extension, explain its functionality, which is easier compared to the original method of creating Jupyter notebooks, which I covered in 2022.
PowerShell Blog Post Requests
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm considering a series of monthly topics for future posts. The series or monthly topic can be anything, as long as it's PowerShell related 😉 In this blog post, you can add ideas for that!
Using the Convert Module in PowerShell
When you have Objects in a format that you can't read, or when you want to convert Objects to another format, or to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the Cmdlets from the Convert module from Andrew Pearce 🙂 In this small blog post, I will show you how you can use this great module!
Deploy and automatically update WinGet apps in Intune using PowerShell without Remediation or 3rd party tools
In this blog post, I will show you how to use PowerShell and the WinGet module to install a specific or the latest version of software using Intune Win32 Detection and install scripts. This solution will automatically update your apps if updates are available without using Remediation, Enterprise App Catalog, or third-party tools.
Using Show-ObjectTree to browse PowerShell Objects
You can use Get-Member to discover all Methods and Properties when working with Variables. But browsing them in your PowerShell Terminal is easier using Show-ObjectTree. In this small blog post, I'm having a busy week and preparing for my WorkplaceNinjasNL session next week, I will show you how that cmdlet works 🙂
Using PowerShell to disable (audio) devices in Windows
I often encounter this issue. I dock my laptop at a customer's location and start a Teams call with someone. No idea what audio device my microphone in Teams will be or what output device it will use, the built-in speakers of the monitor attached to the docking station? My Sony earplugs? In this small blog post, I will show you how you can search and disable a lot of (audio) devices at once using PowerShell 🙂
