1. Auto-generating PowerShell documentation in MarkDown

   7 October 2014🏷️ powershell

   I don't mind writing documentation for my scripts, but I find that most documentation writing exercises tends to suffers from two problems:-

2. Get VDI Capacity Information from the Horizon View ADAM Database

   9 May 2014🏷️ vmware-horizon-view, powershell

   Quick script to assist with capacity planning.

3. Displaying vSphere disk properties (including provisioning & persistence)

   18 February 2014🏷️ vmware-vsphere, powershell

   I was doing some tidying of old scripts and came across something I thought it might be useful, so I tidied it up and added some documentation.

4. Accessing SCSM 2012 using PowerShell (without SMLets)

   3 January 2014🏷️ powershell, microsoft-windows

   I wanted to use PowerShell to create a simple report of open (active & pending) incidents in System Center Service Manager 2012, but the only examples I could find online used the SMLets. Sometimes this wasn't obvious, but soon became apparent when PowerShell choked over CMDLets…

5. Remove machine objects from VMWare View's ADAM database with PowerShell

   27 November 2013🏷️ vmware-horizon-view, powershell

7. Get logon timings from AppSense client log

   28 October 2013🏷️ powershell

   I'm doing logon tuning just now for non-persistent VDI desktops - seeing long it takes to deploy App-V packages on a per-user basis to a generic desktop based on AD group membership. To assist with the tuning, I thought it would be useful to write a quick PowerShell function to…

8. Server Uptime (2013 Scripting Games practice)

   22 April 2013🏷️ powershell, microsoft-windows

   Note: This script will not work on PowerShell Core.

9. PowerShell function to check whether a computer is responding to Ping

   12 March 2013🏷️ powershell

   Note: This function will not work on PowerShell Core. But you should probably be using Test-Connection regardless.

10. Using the WebSphere MQ PowerShell library

    7 February 2013🏷️ powershell

    I've been doing some work with IBM WebSphere MQ recently. Specifically I've been helping to create a (temporary) reporting and monitoring tool which will periodically check channel status and depth of certain queues. While the application has it's own command-line utility (MQSC)…
