PowerShell MVP Award !

Around evening got a call from Ravikanth Sir, Congratulating me on the prestigious PowerShell MVP award. For a moment I couldn't believe that.

Things went on flashback.
When I first started my IT career and saw myself wasting a lot of time on the repetitive tasks.

That was the start of my PowerShell journey and honestly I haven't looked back as I knew what it would bring to the table, More laziness for me ;)

I consider myself lucky as from the beginning of my Career I had PowerShell to make my life easy and now I feel honored to be part of the elites.

Looking forward to sharing and spreading #PowerShell awesomeness.

This is dedicated to all the cool people I have met along the journey :)

Test connectivity via a specific network interface

Recently while working on a Private cloud implementation, I came across a scenario where I needed to test connectivity of a node to the AD/DNS via multiple network adapters.  Many of us would know that having multiple network routes is usually done to take care of redundancy. So that if a network adapter goes down, one can use the other network interface to reach out to the node. In order to make it easy for everyone to follow along, below is an analogy for the above scenario: My laptop has multiple network adapters (say Wi-Fi and Ethernet) connected to the same network. Now how do I test connectivity to a Server on the network only over say Wi-Fi network adapter?

PowerShell + SCCM : Run CM cmdlets remotely

Today I saw a tweet about using implicit remoting to load the Configuration Manager on my machine by Justin Mathews . It caught my eye as I have never really tried it, but theoretically it can be done. Note - The second tweet says "Cannot find a provider with the name CMSite", resolution to which is in the Troubleshooting section at the end.

PowerShell : Trust network share to load modules & ps1

Problem Do you have a central network share, where you store all the scripts or PowerShell modules ? What happens if you try to run the script from a network share ? or if you have scripts (local) which invoke scripts or import PowerShell modules stored on this network share ? Well you would see a security warning like below (Note - I have set execution policy as 'Unrestricted' not 'bypass' here): Run a .ps1 from the network share Well this is a similar warning, which you get when you download scripts from Internet. As the message says run Unblock-File cmdlet to unblock the script and then run it, let's try it.
