What am I doing today? Funny you should ask…

I’m creating a PowerShell script that checks an endpoints Windows 11 eligibility and then writes it to an excel spreadsheet on the computer for me to check.

This will eventually be a Kaseya VSAX workflow to use on our clients machines in preparation for the Windows 10 sunset.

I've published an update to the new DiskReportingTools #PowerShell module. New command to display folder usage by extension. I also updated commands to output raw data so you can create your own visualizations. https://github.com/jdhitsolutions/DiskReportingTools

Microsoft: Abhilfe für Sicherheitslücke durch gelöschte "inetpub"-Ordner

Windows-Update hat einen "inetpub"-Ordner angelegt. Wird er gelöscht, blockiert das womöglich weitere Updates. Ein Script hilft.

This is very cool and I see it as a nice alternative to writing #PowerShell / #Bash / #Python for simple scripts; write them in #CSharp, but still have an easy to read and modify text file, instead of a compiled exe. Coming in #dotnet 10.

I've released yet another update to the PSPodcast #PowerShell module. https://github.com/jdhitsolutions/PSPodcast The big change is that you can now get full episode descriptions .

I finally figured out how to automate a certificate request on #Windows that also requires the csr to be signed by a user certificate. Man alive, it should not be that difficult.

As far as I can tell, certreq has no ability to do this natively, so I ended up using certreq to generate the initial csr, then leveraging the COM object to sign it, then back to certreq again for the actual submission/ acceptance.

If you know of a way to do this easier, please let me know!
