New blog post before MMSMOA 2025. I wanted to write something before then. I went into some details on how we randomize our rollouts of #Intune policies with a #Powershell function to randomize an #Entra group.

Here's a module I use to display a large, customizable clock on my Windows desktop using a WPF-based #PowerShell tool. https://github.com/jdhitsolutions/PSClock

Wrote a quick blog post for Windows users: How to create a custom shortcut with Powertoys, to string together unlimited shortcuts.

Run #XSLT transform on #XML file in #dotnet #PowerShell

$filedatetime = $( get-date -format 'yyyyMMdd hhmmss ffff' )
$filedate = $filedatetime.substring(0,8)
$myxsltfile = 'xyz.xsl'
$myfilein = 'xyz_' + $filedate + '.rss'
$myfileout = 'xyz_' + $filedate + '.txt'

Write-Output "xyz's RSS feed to Text on " + $filedate

$xslt = New-Object System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform;
$xslt.load( $myxsltfile )
$xslt.Transform( $myfilein , $myfileout )

Write-Output " Done."

Some really fantastic #CommandLine tips in this newsletter by @NVAccess https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-11th-april-2025/ #NVDA #PowerShell #Terminal #CommandPrompt

I've come to the conclusion that the command line is peak UI. It's fast, and it doesn't freeze as often. I had an issue where I tried to delete a task in the Windows Task Scheduler and every time I would try, the UI froze on me. I piped the below into Powershell and it was deleted! No lag, no nothing!

Threat actors misuse Node.js to deliver malware and other malicious payloads

Since October 2024, threat actors have been leveraging Node.js to deliver malware and payloads for information theft and data exfiltration. A recent malvertising campaign uses cryptocurrency trading themes to lure users into downloading malicious installers. The attack chain includes initial access, persistence, defense evasion, data collection, and payload delivery. The malware gathers system information, sets up scheduled tasks, and uses PowerShell for various malicious activities. Another emerging technique involves inline JavaScript execution through Node.js. Recommendations include educating users, monitoring Node.js execution, enforcing PowerShell logging, and implementing endpoint protection.

I caught up with first-time attendee, Lucas, about their biggest takeaway from #PSHSummit 2025 so far

#PowerShell #Community

I just learned Powershell has a ‘WhatIf’ parameter to show what a command will do before actually executing it.
