ntSystemsPSDrive: a SHiPS drive for the blog
tom torggler
Some time ago I wrote a post about Consuming ntSystems with PowerShell. It boils down to this: we have a json-based API that is available via https://ntsystems.it/api/v1/ and returns json elements for posts and pages on the blog. For more information check out the linked post. Then I wanted play around with the SHiPS module for some time and finally got around to doing it this past weekend. Now I’m happy to be sharing another method do consume ntSystems with PowerShell: It can be mounted as PSDrive.

Keeping track of PowerShellCore releases on GitHub
tom torggler
I’ve been using PowerShell Core on my MacBook for a while now. As the code is still in its early stages, there’s no way of managing/updating the software one is running, at least none that I would be aware of. I did miss some updates and, as a result, had problems with Visual Studio Code. So I’ve put together a quick function that checks the latest release on GitHub and can conveniently be put into my $PROFILE.

With the following commands, I show you how to stop the Backup for a Virtual Machine and delete the associated Recovery Points.
Introducing: TAK
tom torggler
Over the years I did create, find, copy, paste, quite a few lines of PowerShell code. Some of which I’m turning into re-usable functions and collecting in a module, creatively called “Tom’s Admin Kit” or TAK. I hope you find it useful. I try to credit the sources for the stuff that I just copied off of the interwebs, even though I don’t actually remember all of them.

Invoke-SEFAUtil – a PowerShell wrapper function
I had to use SEFAUtil to get some tasks done the other day. As I prefer using PowerShell over just another command line tool, I decided to come up with a quick wrapper function that is intended to make my life a little easier.
