Anyone who had their first experience with computers in the 80s often did so on a Commodore 64. The nostalgia of turning on the blue screen lasts to this day. That is why I have adapted my PowerShell environment so that it looks like a C64. How you can customize your shell as well I described here. Have fun with it.

So my latest PowerShell book is actually published:

Still looking for reviewers
#PowerShell
#PowerShell7

I also finished work on my #powershell book. Covers using #powershell7 and #WindowsServer2022 . Even shows how to use #pwsh to manage WSUS!

4/4

How often are you using classes instead of pscustomobjects in #powershell?

For me, using classes, you have better control over your data.

OK, so I had heard of #Starship Prompt and wanted to try it our on #PowerShell5. Googled it. Installed some NerdFonts 😒. Downloaded Starship from the Github and followed the instructions for set up. Just errors about it not being for this OS 😤.
While poking around, found out about #PowerShell7🤔. Installed #winget 🤔. Installed PS7 hoping maybe that would work. Nope. Learned more about PS7.
Somehow came across #OhMyPosh, and installed that. Worked right off 😲. Tried different themes, didn't like any of them. Made a copy of a theme JSON and tweaked it until I liked it 😘.
Quite the Linux-ish rabbit hole I wasn't expecting to go down 🤪.

@cl alternatively, in #PowerShell7 change the value of $PSSessionConfigurationName to be a #PowerShell 7 one.
LIke this:

@cl
1. Determine #PowerShell7 Endpoints:
Enable-PSRemoting # to be safe
Get-PSSession Configuration
This gets you the endpoint names for #PowerShell 7 sessions. you should see two!

2. Then create tne New-PSSession using the Configuration Name parameter.

Looks like this:

@bjompen @JeffHicks #powershell or #powershell7 works...

@shwalsh13@vmst.io Hardest ch was the last. Trying to manage #WSUS in #PowerShell 7. The WSUS team could not have shipped such a ore Powershell unfriendly module and object model if that was their aim. Even the RSAT tool feature name is different to ALL the rest. And I suspect MSFT will never revise it to use more modern protocol and support #.NET. Still with #Powershell7 there are ways around this

I know it is boring but I have been playing around with #PowerShell Compress-Archive Cmdlet lately and it is very helpful especially when working with multiple files.

Here is a quick demo to see it in action. The -Update parameter overwrites the file each time. So you won't experience errors. #PowerShell7 #Scripting #Cmdlet

A fantastic book by @DoctorDNS which although I don’t get much Server Exposure still have taught me a lot. Cheers Thomas, and great to see you on here. #PowerShell #PowerShell7

A small little function I wrote this evening which fetches the Partition Name and Size on a Windows Device. Nothing groundbreaking. #powershell #scripting #windows #powershell7

If anyone is looking for a nice way to present code on here or anywhere else give https://carbon.now.sh/ a try. I just used this random PowerShell 7 output as an example. #carbon #powershell7 #coding #scripting
