PowerShell Escape Room by Michiel Hamers by Michiel Hamers

Why on earth you want to create an Escape Room with PowerShell as backend? I’ve always been a fan of escape rooms, so I decided to create my own for my kids. I wanted to make it something that would be challenging and fun for them, but also educational. I decided to use PowerShell as the backend for the escape room, as I’m a PowerShell developer and I thought it would be a great way to learn more about the language.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We would like to introduce you to the core team for the Automation + DevOps Summit which will be held November 1-3 at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Nashville TN.

“I’m pleased to announce the Call for Editors and Call for Authors for the “Modern IT Automation with PowerShell” book.
This project is a new initiative to develop a textbook resource to connect the PowerShell community with Students and IT Professionals alike. While the previous projects (PowerShell Conference Book) rely on people to submit their own material, this project will depend on set course material to archive this book’s goal. Authors / Editors will be required to select which chapters you would be interested in writing/editing.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The DevOps Collective INC is pleased to announce the return of the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit in April of 2021.
The 2021 event will be a little bit different than those in years past, as this event will be all virtual, hosted in late April 2021. We assure you that this will not be another multi-day webinar! We will do our best to make sure you have the best experience possible.
So! Proposals for the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2020 are due in less than two weeks, on October 1st. We have some solid talks lined up, but we’re still behind where we were last year, and need more proposals!
We’ve heard a lot of questions - What topics are you looking for?, I don’t know what to propose! and so on. Let’s cover some ways to find topics and hopefully spark some ideas!
At the upcoming “IT Transformation” event in Orlando this month (still time left to register!), members of the PowerShell team will be leading a full-day workshop that’s pretty much a don’t-miss (and no, it isn’t being recorded). Here’s the schedule:
Time Speaker Title 09:00am-10:00am Jeffrey Snover Observations on Modern IT Practices and Organization Culture 10:00am-10:15am break 10:15am-12:00pm Michael Greene The Release Pipeline Model 12:00pm-01:00pm lunch 01:00pm-02:45pm Michael Greene Instructor Led Hands-On Lab: Constructing a pipeline for PowerShell Modules using Visual Studio Team Services.
In a domain environment auto enrollment can be used to get create unique certificates for each node that can be used with DSC. The problem is getting the public cert to the machine that creates the DSC MOF files. I wrote a module last year to collect them directly form the Enterprise CA. If it interests you take a look https://blog.bladefirelight.com/nuggets/collecting-ca-certificates-for-dsc-configuration/
PowerShell 5 brought class based DSC Resources, which majorly simplifies the process of writing custom DSC resources.
During my time working on some custom resources, I developed some tips a long the way which should save you some time and pain during your DSC journey.
The tips cover:
Structuring your class based DSC Resources Making it easier to get IntelliSense based on your DSC resources without constantly copying them into the module path Using PowerShell ISE IntelliSense when writing DSC configuration Troubleshooting resources which aren’t being exposed correctly from your DSC Module Testing classed based resources with Pester Head over to https://hodgkins.
