Oops! Looks like I totally forgot about posting what I did over here. Sorry! In order of appearance: Event 5 - script Event 5 - notes Event 6 - script Event 6 - notes This is last event, and I would like to thank everybody who took part in this games. Thank you guys for great ideas, inspiration, feedback… It was really educational experience for me (as it was in the past), and I hope it was educational for you too.
Active Directory is one of those things I just love to work with. That’s why I was really looking forward to this event. As always, I learned few things, but still - seen some mistakes that I would like to highlight. As always - you can read about those both in Polish and in English. Enjoy!
I’m almost done judging event 3, perfect time to share few thoughts about things I’ve seen in this event. A lot of great entries, but still few things that could have been done (in my opinion) better. If you want to know my general opinion - you can read it either in English or in Polish. Enjoy!
Third event is open for voting, but as usual - before I see any of the scripts submitted by you, I’m posting my version. Tried to sneak in few tricks I’ve learned here and there, hope you will enjoy reading and will tell me why I’m wrong. 😉 You can find whole post here.
Today I finally had some time to look at all entries in both categories. What I liked, and what I did not like about them? You can find answers, as previously, either in Polish, or in English. I focused mainly on things I did not like, but I would anyway say that scripts are really good (overall) this year. Still: few poppies died. If you are responsible for it - remember: at the end of the day, it is you who is tossing away strength that PowerShell offers: Object Oriented Pipeline.
I haven’t received any negative feedback on idea to blog about “how would I do it” (what you think about my approach is different topic) so I decided to continue. Again: because I don’t want to be influenced by your ideas and make my task as close to your work as possible I post it early, before I see any of cool techniques I haven’t thought of and you did, so that I can regret it later.
As promised, today more general thoughts on scripts I’ve seen in both categories in the first event. I’m Polish, so I decided to blog notes both in my own language, and in English, “just in case”. Also, my Polish is much better than my English (I hope!), so for people from Poland: they can read Polish version, without the pain of translating my-English to English-English. Enjoy!

While working on my notes for first event of Scripting Games I was looking around what others wrote, and was surprised that people really think that enabling SupportsShouldProcess is good enough. In my opinion - it is not. And because this is relatively big topic I decided to write separate blog post just about that. You can find it here. I hope it will highlight the difference between enabling this feature and actually implementing it.
Looking for not-so-expert solution for Event 1 in both categories? Wonder how one of the judges would do it, if he had a chance? Want to return favor and tell me what I could do better and what I’m doing wrong? Don’t hesitate. 🙂 I decided it may be helpful to post my solutions before I ever see yours. Please find full article with lots of code on my blog. If you want to tell me you like/ hate this idea - please don’t hesitate either.
