With the announcement that Polyglot Notebooks is being retired at the end of March, I sure am thankful for @harmveenstra.bsky.social and his blog post on adding a custom PowerShell kernel for use with the Jupyter notebook extension in VS Code.

MSOnline has been retired since May 2025. Use Microsoft.Graph instead!
Get-MgUser -All | ? {
$uri = '/beta/users/{0}/authentication/signInPreferences' -f $_.Id
-not ((Invoke-GraphRequest GET $uri).userPreferredMethodForSecondaryAuthentication)
}

Where did you get your background image from?
If someone is using $PSBoundParameters outside of the script (such as within their Profile) to enable -UseBasicParameters by default, that would not appear in the report, correct?
🚨 Breaking change in Invoke-WebRequest that could impact your automations.
I wrote a helper script to find where Invoke-WebRequest is and isn't using -UseBasicParsing. It also works for any other cmdlets/parameters combo.

Thank you! I'll take a look along with creating my own Plaster template.

I see that you have also used Stucco in the past. Do you still like that tool? Are there things you don't like about it?

Also, is everything just built on top of Plaster?
What are you using for #PowerShell module scaffolding? Seems that most tools that I have found are in need of some TLC. What am I missing?
If you're looking for some truly amazing humans from the #PowerShell community to follow, @dougfinke.bsky.social has been doing work curating a handy list: clearsky.app/dougfinke.bs...

This seems to be telling you that $PSCMdlet is null. That would happen if you are using a function vs an Advanced Function
Try adding a [CmdletBinding()] directive.

The internet is really great sometimes 💖 Thanks to @jsnover.com on Reddit 10 years ago, I was able to solve a #PowerShell problem while following @kevmar.bsky.social amazing article on handling errors that now lives on #MicrosoftLearn 🤯
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers...

I love newer versions of #PowerShell, but I still regularly have to support #Windows PowerShell because that's the default shell for systems like #SCCM and #Intune.
How can I take advantage of the new PowerShell other than executing scripts with pwsh.exe and the -File or -Command parameters?
I regularly use .cmd files as a simpler execution mechanism for PowerShell scripts. They simply call powershell.exe with the -File parameter (plus any other params). Many people know how to double-click a file, but don’t know how to execute a PowerShell script with & or .
A really useful article (and quick read) on how to get started with .NET within your #PowerShell scripts including how to decipher the defintions. Thank you @alexandair.bsky.social and @tobiaspsp.bsky.social!!
Using hashtables for lookups is so useful and quick! I've made one before matching human-readable names with object IDs in Microsoft Graph
That was my guess too, but it doesn’t appear so
Does anyone know how to get the access token that's in use with the Microsoft.Graph #PowerShell module?
Agreed. “May not be set” reads as “cannot be set”
You're not alone! I've just come across this incorrect error message as well with 3.7.1 🙃
Why do I have issues using the #Exchange Online #PowerShell module (v3.7.1) when I use a wildcard for the cmdlet within $PSDefaultParameterValues? I'm able to connect, but my permission scopes are wrong and I can only see my own mailbox.
What makes it unreliable? What is auto-splat?
Nice to see both WAM supported and native Git blame!
