Look at that commands page featuring our nearly 700 commands 😍 So useful now and easy to navigate.
The screenshot shows the "dbatools Commands" page from the dbatools website, listing PowerShell commands for SQL Server. The interface includes a search bar, filterable categories on the left, and a grid of command cards in the center. Visible commands include “Copy-DbaLogin,” “Invoke-DbaQuery,” and “Restore-DbaDatabase,” each with a short description, a yellow star icon indicating popularity, and category tags like “Migration” or “Backup & Restore.” The site header includes links for Getting Started, Commands, Blog, Book, Team, GitHub, and Builds, with an “Install” button and dark mode toggle.

We even migrated the #SQLServer Builds Reference and made it an integrated part of the rest of the site dbatools.io/builds We've got Dark Mode now, too 🖤
SQL Server Build Reference page from dbatools.io showing a dark-themed interface with filter buttons by version (e.g. SQL Server 2022, 2019, 2017) and by attributes (e.g. Service Packs Only, Cumulative Updates Only). Below is a searchable, exportable table listing SQL Server build data including version numbers, names, service pack (SP) and cumulative update (CU) info, end-of-support dates, and KB article links; top entries include version 16.0.4222, 16.0.4215, and 16.0.4212 with support ending 2033-01-11.

But how cool is it to have your software signed by @microsoft.com?

Also, check out that NotAfter and NotBefore, so short!
A PowerShell Core terminal displays detailed information about an X.509 certificate, showing fields like NotAfter (8/8/2025), NotBefore (8/5/2025), SerialNumber, Thumbprint, and Issuer. Two red arrows highlight the Issuer as "CN=Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 02" and the Subject as "CN=dbatools, O=dbatools, L=Vienna, S=Virginia, C=US." The background includes a stylized purple-and-cyan avatar graphic in the lower-right corner, suggesting a personalized or themed terminal setup.

Our cert now shows Microsoft ID Verified as the issuer. Identity validation took just 30 minutes vs DigiCert's 2+ months.

Azure Trusted Signing provides instant reputation tied to our verified identity & not to a specific cert like the old way. Should finally solve years of false positives.
A Windows Certificate Manager window shows the "Trusted Publishers" certificate store under "Certificates - Current User." The selected certificate is issued to "dbatools" and issued by "Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 02," with an expiration date of August 8, 2025. Other listed certificates include several issued to "Microsoft Corporation" by "Microsoft Code Signing PCA 2011," mostly for Microsoft Publisher and code signing purposes, with varied expiration dates. The view indicates 10 total certificates in this store.
