PowerShell

I find I'm using PowerShell more and more often, but I still need to look up examples.

On these pages I have general notes and some of the scripts I've used in the past to refresh my memory.

• PowerShell 101 (why you should bother)

• Enable Remote PowerShell (good stuff if you manage a lot of machines)

• Monitor Active Directory Servers (handy to know when your servers are behaving or not)

• PowerShell and Twilio (calls and texts, basic stuff)

• Manage Active Directory VPN IPs (sometimes you want to change a lot of assigned IPs in a hurry)

• Discord Alerts for Active Directory Lockouts (I like to know before I get a call)

• Machine Management (things that you might want to do on your local machine)

• File Management (sometimes you need to add or remove files on multiple machines)

• Office 365 (many things are better managed in 365 with PowerShell and a few that absolutely need it)

Other stuff:
