Due to a Microsoft DMCA notice, I've had to rename PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio to just PowerShell Pro Tools and replace the icon as it was too closely related to the Visual Studio icon. It's been the same name and icon for almost 15 years haha. github.com/ironmansoftw...

I've been a weather nerd the last few years and always wondered why there was this anomaly north of the Sullivan weather station. Turns out it's a wind farm and the turbines are tall enough to make it seem like there is always a thunderstorm in that area.

🎉 Big news! dbatools is moving to Azure Trusted Signing, which provides base reputation on Windows SmartScreen. No more antivirus false positives.

The catch? If you use strict ExecutionPolicies, you'll need to trust our cert after each update (it rotates daily). But we've got automation scripts.

TLDR: dbatools is moving to Azure Trusted Signing, which means Microsoft backs our reputation and dbatools won't trigger as many antivirus false positives. …

I added some best practices around the cache in PowerShell Universal. We had a user caching 65k+ Entra ID users in a single cache item and it led to very poor performance of the server in general. Just be careful with complex objects. docs.powershelluniversal.com/config/best-...

I've sorted out how to ship a #PowerShell Universal app as a module, which allowed me to put the app on a secondary test instance, and it *just friggin works*

Tons of docs so people don't stub their toes. By the end of the weekend, y'all can play too!

@adamdriscoll.bsky.social is a badass!!
