While I took a longer break than I wanted to from blogging (busy days at work… š¤) I still managed to stumble across a number of interesting Powershell modules, they bring little improvements here and there in my workflow and smooths out wrinkles from some tasks that are not are painless are they are supposed to be.
PSReleaseTools
This module by Jeff Hicks makes it easy to stay up to date with the latest Powershell releases: get information about the release changes, download and install the new bits and so on.
PSScriptTools
Another module by Jeff Hicks, this one is a collection of tools for different occasions, there are functions to work with modules, create extended type files, create objects from text output, work with files and optimize the text content, improve and colorize the output to the powershell console and so on. Check it out, you’ll likely find something useful for your scenario.
EnvironmentVariableCmdlet
This is a module by my colleague James Truher to simplify working with environment variables; Jason Helmick has a funny Youtube video where he (among other things) gives an overview of this module.
