We use a documentation system that only allows CSV exports, which gets annoying when tyring to supply clients with some form of data out of it. To resolve I rewrote the script by Brandon Everhardt to take all CSV files from a folder and export them into a single readable HTML file. It’s a very […]
During my labbing I’ve noticed I often need to wait for the VM to get online before executing some script or commands, to do that I use the following script: First we get the VM Name, and enter the credentials for that specific VM: $VMName = read-host "Please enter the VM-Name" $VM = get-vm $VMName […]

Of course this meant after we perform maintenance the application would no longer work unless we’d log the user on. Autologon is not advised due to leaving […]
