Az DevOps CLI : Query Release(s) definition for a Task status

Someone, asked me at work if I could generate a list of Release pipelines definitions which did not have a specific task (AzSK SVT task) missing or disabled.

This was more for an internal audit purpose and can definitely be built upon.

I recently read that Az CLI got an extension support for Az DevOps.
Please read on the GitHub repository on how to install this extension for Az CLI.

Time to put this to try.


Below gist describes the steps I used in pwsh (PowerShell Core) with Az CLI & DevOps extension installed.

The above script should be self explanatory (read the comments). Please leave a comment if you have any queries.

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 + WPF + GUI : Hide (Use) background PowerShell Console

Few years back, I had started wrapping my PowerShell scripts with some sort of GUI built using Windows Forms (used Primal Forms CE mostly). Things went fine for a while but then I stumbled across awesome posts by MVP Boe Prox on using WPF with PowerShell to do the same. (check Resources section) I had been procrastinating the idea of playing with WPF for a while but then had a great discussion with MVP Chendrayan (Chen) and got inspired to do it. One can use Visual Studio (Express Edition - which is free) to design the UI and then consume the XAML in PowerShell script...Isn't that Cool ! See resources section for links on that. Often when we write the Code to present a nice UI to the end user there is a PowerShell console running in the background. In this post I would like to share a trick to hide/show the background console window. This trick works with both Winforms and XAML. Note - PowerGUI & Visual Studio Express are absolutely FREE ! For the demo o...
