05 Dec: Microsoft Graph – InvalidAuthenticationToken – Access token validation failure. Invalid audience

Today I had a need to connect to Microsoft Graph and do some tasks on Office 365. Since I have already done similar stuff for my PSwinDocumentation.O365HealthService PowerShell module that I've described in PowerShell to get all information about Office 365 Service Health, I thought this will be easy run as I'll just reuse the code I've done for that module. As always for Graph related tasks you need to register your application and assign correct permissions. I've used my own article for that with changes to which API I want to access. Now that I've done all that I've extracted my Connect-O365Graph function from my module and started connecting.

21 Nov: Set-PSRepository Installation Policy Trusted – Invalid Class Error

I have to admit – executing the same command three times and expecting different results is dumb, but I still do it anyway. Fortunately, after trying three times I usually resort to other methods and try to solve the problem I have. Today while trying to trust PowerShellGallery I was greeted with an error.

17 Nov: Removing user from local administrator group based on data stored in Active Directory

We need to deal with a group names through SID's rather than names because each group name is different in different languages. The second problem is to distinguish whether a user is a local or domain user. Finally, I need to connect to Active Directory to verify if the user I am about to remove has ExtensionAttribute10 (or any other field in AD) filled in or not.

12 Nov: Emailimo merged into PSWriteHTML, IE support and no dependencies

If you don't know this yet, I use PSWriteHTML a lot. That means I get to test it under a lot of different conditions. I use it in reports, emails for small, medium, and large companies. Today's blog post summarizes the work I did in the last few weeks over different areas of PSWriteHTML.

30 Oct: Create a local user or administrator account in Windows using PowerShell

Recently I got a simple task to implement LAPS for the newly created local user instead of using the built-in local administrator account. It seemed easy at first. Go to Group Policies, create a new user, add it to an administrators group, and then follow standard steps to implement LAPS. That is until you find out it's actually not possible anymore due to password encryption key being available in the wild, which made Microsoft block that Group Policy Preference. While that road is blocked, I still need to get my user-created somehow. Let's do it with PowerShell. It's quite simple – use New-LocalUser a few parameters, some random password that I don't need to save as LAPS will overwrite it. Except it's not available on PowerShell 2.0, which is the default for Windows 7 that I have to support. Things get even more complicated if you consider that Administrators group is called differently in different countries. While I stopped supporting anything below PowerShell 5.1, I can't say if it's the project requirement.
