In my home network, I run a Graylog Syslog instance in Docker for logging network and Linux events. But you can also log events from PowerShell scripts to Syslog for easy filtering or correlation. In this blog post, I will show you how that works.
When running scripts that connect to remote systems using Invoke-Command, you can use your local variables in the remote session which makes things a lot easier. In this blog post, I will show you how 🙂

Each version of Windows client adds new features and functionality. Occasionally, new versions also remove features and functionality, often because they added a newer option. This article provides details about the features and functionalities that are no longer being developed in Windows client. For more information about features that were removed, see Windows features removed.
For more information about features in Windows 11, see Feature deprecations and removals.
To understand the distinction between deprecation and removal, see Windows client features lifecycle.
The features in this article are no longer being actively developed, and might be removed in a future update. Some features were replaced with other features or functionality and some are now available from other sources.

I've been looking at the new Outlook. While it has some improvements, it is missing many features that have existed for years. It reminds me of the Windows 11 Start Menu - pretty and new, but far less functional than the old version.
My list does not consider GUI changes (because they are subjective) and ignores bugs/crashes/slowness of the new Outlook.

Back in 2019, when the .dev top-level domain opened, we picked up vscode.dev and quickly parked it, pointing at our website code.visualstudio.com (or, if you are from the Boston area like me, we "pahked it").

And we certainly didn't anticipate that it would end up being the fulfillment of a mission over a decade in the making.

So you’ve learned how to automate tasks with a PowerShell script.
That’s great! But now you’ve got a disorganized mess of scripts and modules with a hodgepodge of manual script executions, scheduled tasks, and more. It’s time to bring some order to the chaos and implement the automation orchestration engine known as PowerShell PSake.
Today, we’re releasing the first preview of x64 emulation for ARM64 devices to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel starting with the Build 21277. It can be installed on Windows 10 on ARM PCs by following the instructions as explained in this blog post.
On Tuesday, December 8th, Red Hat and CentOS announced the end of CentOS 8. To be specific, CentOS 8 will reach end of life at the end of 2021, 8 years ahead of schedule. To really understand what that means, and how we got here, it’s worth taking a trip down memory lane, and looking at how the history of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and IBM are intertwined.
Tab completion has accelerated the success of new and experienced PowerShell users for over a decade.

Experienced users receive the benefit of acceleration, typing less while using the Tab key to quickly complete a command.
