A collection of my PowerShell adventures, featuring scripts, automation experiments, problem-solving, and reusable code samples from real-world IT projects.
I just needed a place to stash this and my GitHub didn’t seem appropriate. I make no guarantees that this will work and it’s only been tested on one system so far. I added the -Unique flag to the end of the download URL detection as indicated in a below message. (Again, nice catch!)
In learning about PowerShell and Web API’s, I figured I would start with something fun and easy.

Let’s forget all about my previous step 3. For the sake of argument, step 3 is dead, long live step 3.1! Any script should be a living, breathing document which gets updated as needed. In this case, it was needed. Why would I burn such a good script to the ground? Well, to be blunt,…
In Part 1 of trying to tame my photos, I tried to wrangle my horribly organized photo library. My organization skills were lacking, like many, when it comes to photos. We take them, we import them or save them and then we… forget about them. That’s a problem when I’m trying to handle large amounts…
No one could ever accuse me of being a shutterbug. I’m more of a casual photographer and much most of that was from mobile devices. But that’s not the be-all-end-all. I’ve also got scores of scans of old photographs, screenshots, and a bunch of other graphics that have accumulated over the years. Thankfully modern mobile…
Containers are everywhere and I’m, personally, behind the times. I’d like to think that I’ve kept up with new technology trends, but on containers I was caught napping. So now it’s time to really get cracking and for that I need to have a playground. There are several online options available, but I’m cheap, so…
Over the years, I’ve worked for various organizations and most have had a fairly routine process for applying patches. The best of these uses a defined Change Management window during which the patches were deployed and the computers rebooted (if necessary). This post is not a recommendation on when to do this or how to do…
If you’ve read any of my posts in the past, you know that I’ve got a lab at the office. Part of this includes a handful of Exchange Servers. To better simulate “real-world” (not stress-test) simulations, I want to send messages around the organization. Thankfully, I’ve had some experience with Exchange Web Services (EWS) in…
In September I wrote a few things about how I use SAM Script Templates – specifically with PowerShell. One of the more powerful things in the SAM arsenal is the ability to return multiple components in a single script. I’ve used this in any number of ways, but the one that gives me the most…
