The regex ‘^\s*|\s*$’ matches any amount of whitespace at the beginning or end of a string. Using that pattern with -replace (if a string variable is on the left of the -replace operator) is exactly...

Log file management – e.g., rollover and archival. The end point was, no, IIS doesn’t do it natively, and yes, a custom DSC resource would deb a good way to go about it, if your servers have...

hi again, Don is almost correct We have rollover natively in IIS, however no achiving of items of an certain age. So custom DSC it is then or you could use a DSC script Resource while you develop you...

Get-ADUser’s filter is much more complex. It accepts a string, not a ScriptBlock, and it has code to parse that string and turn it into an LDAP filter behind the scenes. Writing your own code to parse...
