October flew by, but wanted to see what #PowerShell you did in October that you can share? Doesn’t matter how big or small, as it could give someone else an idea or even help them out!

Having fun mostly “Vibe Coding” a PowerShell Lego Management module. Let AI do the heavy work, and I can tweak where needed. Interesting to see how “AI” does things to learn new/different ways of doing things and seeing if it’s worth it. Are you building a hobby projects like this?

One thing I always recommend when it comes to designing conditional acesss policies.

Never use a block policy when the same outcome can be achieved with a grant policy.
