In the first strand of our series on strings we covered the basics. Now that you're feeling comfortable, let's enter the Twilight Zone and pass through a black hole and get sucked into the Upside Down. In Part 2, we're going to look at some of the other cool ways we...
PowerShell String Theory – Part I
I've been called many things throughout my life. My name is Todd. I also happen to be less than 7 feet tall so some might even call that short. I've been called names like Odd Todd, Tater Todd, Toddo Baggins, and some other unmentionables. What I haven't been called...
Distribution Groups – Manager Can Update Membership with PowerShell
A long time ago when computers were only 1's and 0's and had physical footprints the size of large rooms, we only had code. You really had to know what you were doing and you couldn't google your way out of information you were missing. Then one day the GUI was born...
Windows Toast Notifications With PowerShell

MobileIron – Mandatory Apps
Since you asked, UI design and development is underrated in my opinion. Like IT is to the business (usually support, not impacting the bottom line), the UI can be to the Application. Okay, maybe that's a poor analogy and maybe we're just bitter about working in...
