Insider Risk Is a Business Decision - Bring HR In Early

Pester test suites that take 30-90 minutes to run are killing my vibe here...but testers gotta validate! "Monday Sam" is going to need to look into how to optimize those PowerShell tests!

One tiny change to my VS @code configuration has made life a lot easier for me. Markdown documents now open in preview by default, instead of in the editor. Editing them is still as simple as a double-click! Anyone with me?

Do your #PowerShell scripts restart from scratch after failure? At #PSConfEU, @dotdot.horse shows how Stepper enables: ✅ Resumable scripts ✅ Persistent state ✅ 🔁 Smart retries 👉 youtu.be/frucG2eXu9s?si=T8r... #automation #IT #DevOps #Conference

I'm excited and grateful that Microsoft has kept me for another year in the MVP program for PowerShell and now also Security (Identity & Access). This is an amazing community that I continue to learn new things from every day! www.credly.com/badges/c2473...

On any given workday, a software developer needs high privilege access to computers, secrets, and resources - all with a risk of being exploited! @shehackspurple.bsky.social talks on RunAs Radio at runasradio.com/Shows/Show/1... about securing developer accounts and resources!

Great insight from @awakecoding.com about tackling problems with AI. This fits my own recent experience, but he found a better way to describe it! 🧠

New blog post! 📰 I'm sharing my own mental model for AI prompting, which I call Shadow Theory. The goal isn't to find the perfect prompt. It's to cast enough shadows from the angles that matter 👇💡 awakecoding.com/posts/shadow...

Some quick thoughts on the significance of interactions in our communities and personal relationships. Are you (am I) being intentional about them?

Still waiting for the staggered rollout of Microsoft's MAI models to hit my GitHub account. Have any of you seen them show up yet?

The July 1 date for increases in #Microsoft365 subscription fees is fast approaching. Here's how to check your licensed #EntraID user accounts to find stale (unused) accounts where you might be able to free up some licenses: office365itpros.com/2026/06/09/f...

Find Inactive Accounts with PowerShell

Inactive accounts can soak up a lot of paid-for but unused Microsoft 365 and other product licenses. We discuss two approaches for finding inactive accounts.

🚨The MicrosoftExchangeOnline PowerShell module has been updated to 3.10.0 with breaking changes for some automated workflows! 👉 PowerShell 7.6 & Windows PowerShell 5.1 are the only supported versions! ⛔ PowerShell 7.2-7.3 will likely fail. ⚠️ PowerShell 7.4-7.5 𝘮𝘢𝘺 work.

My absolute favorite AI response of the week: “I agree. This is exactly where “future-proofing” can accidentally become architecture cosplay.” 😂

My 🧠 with insomnia: “Here’s a cool idea for that thing.” “Awesome, that could develop into something real!” 🔁 Still in bed 2 hours later with AI chats about multiple fresh ideas. 🤔 “Maybe I should just work on that important work project.” “No, here’s MOAR new ideas!” 🤪🥱

I said it a while ago, but I feel it needs to be said again. It’s weird how if we have dental problems, we’ll practically share that info with total strangers. If we have medical problems, we hold those tighter to the vest. And almost nobody talks about when they have mental health problems.

Figured it might be time to update my 5+ year old profile photo! The last one was taken at my first "work from home in the basement" setup at the beginning of the [health event of 2020].

We switched from @ATT to @TMobile 5G home internet 6 months ago. T-Mobile was slightly better at first, but connection quality, reliability, and performance has PLUMMETED since then. I was forced to reschedule a @github exam this morning because upload speeds were < 1 Mbps! 😣

Should we tell them about PowerShell? 😁

Thanks to @samerde.day3bits.com for squashing this bug in his 🥒 DLLPickle module! Hopefully authentication library conflicts across so many #PowerShell modules will soon be a thing of the past 🤞
