Particular Modules
And sure, that’s an intensive checklist 🙂 So much are simply there as a result of they arrive with Home windows parts/set up, however I believe there are just a few price mentioning within the chapters under.
IntuneBackupAndRestore
Extra choices can be found now for backing up, evaluating, or restoring your Intune configuration however this module from John Seerden (https://github.com/jseerden/IntuneBackupAndRestore) simply works for me. Nice for restoring your configuration in a brand new (check) tenant or for reporting on what was modified if there are points in your buyer’s surroundings 😉
Microsoft365DSC
This module permits organizations to automate the deployment, configuration, reporting, and monitoring of Microsoft 365 Tenants through PowerShell Desired State Configuration. The compiled configuration must be executed from an agent’s Native Configuration Supervisor (LCM) (machine or container) which might talk again remotely to Microsoft 365 through distant API calls (due to this fact requires web connectivity)
That’s a replica/paste from the GitHub web page https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC , it’s nice for importing/exporting/evaluating tenant info/configuration. For extra info and the best way to set up it, please go to https://microsoft365dsc.com/
oh-my-posh
Make your PowerShell immediate look good utilizing this module from Jan de Dobbeleer (https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh) You’ll be able to customise it in so some ways, instance screenshot:
posh-git
This reveals the GIT standing in your PowerShell session whereas engaged on issues in your repository, it additionally helps you with GIT instructions as a result of TAB works (git ch + tab modifications to git checkout for instance). Instance screenshot under:
Use install-module posh-git to put in module from Keith Dahlby / https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git .
PSParseHTML
This module was a part of PSWriteHTML, however you should utilize it for getting sure knowledge from webpages simply. I’ve used it in just a few scripts that I posted right here, for instance within the Message of the Day script (right here). It has the next features:
- Convert-HTMLToText
- ConvertFrom-HtmlTable
- ConvertFrom-HTMLAttributes (aliases:Â
ConvertFrom-HTMLTag,ÂConvertFrom-HTMLClass) - ConvertFrom-HTML
- Format-CSS
- Format-HTML
- Format-JavaScript
- Optimize-CSS
- Optimize-HTML
- Optimize-JavaScript
I used the ConvertFrom-HTMLClass to get knowledge from a sure HTLM class, which makes scraping knowledge a lot simpler 🙂 Set up the module from EvoTec IT / https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSParseHTML by working install-module PSParseHTML.
PS2EXE
This module from M. Scholtes (https://github.com/MScholtes/PS2EXE) permits you to save PowerShell scripts as an executable. Nice for working issues in closed environments or while you don’t wish to share the contents of a script. Set up it utilizing install-module ps2exe. However there’s one downside, see the word under…
Notice from the writer:
Some (actually) silly idiots appear to have abused PS2EXE to compile their pc virus scripts. Consequently, a quickly rising variety of virus scanners acknowledge packages created with PS2EXE as malicious packages and delete them.
There is just one hope to avoid wasting the PS2EXE challenge: Please ship your (innocent) packages created with PS2EXE through the net varieties from the virus scanners’ distributors for reporting false positives (I’ve already performed it with a few of them, please use solely the false constructive web page)!
What modules do you utilize?
These had been only a few of my at the moment put in modules, which of them do you utilize? Ideas? Let me know 🙂
