Quest update: 6 and 7 out of 12 done.

I see I haven’t written anything since the end of February. There are reasons for that, which I’ll probably talk about in a later blog post, but for now, I’ll talk about passing certifications 6 and 7.

@sassdawe yeah, fido2 is most likely the way we’re forced to go. But that’s a big cost when you have 5000 users.

@sassdawe also: what about the people without smartphones? Certain groups of users are much easier to get to use sms MFA than the Authenticator app.

New version out of my niche module: MGNestedGroups: https://www.randriksen.net/powershell/2023/10/30/new-version-of-MGNestedGroups.html #PowerShell
New version of MGNestedGroups

I’ve just released a new version of my MGNestedGroups module. It’s a pretty niche module, but it’s something I’ve found usefull at work, so I’ve improved it a little bit now.

@sassdawe @sasstu Yeah, the chat feature of copilot is a good option. If you have Bing chat enterprise (which anyone with a Microsoft 365 E3 license should have available) that is also a safe option.

I’ve used some hours streamlining the installation of #GitLab runners on #Windows, so that you can spend less time installing GitLab runners on Windows.

How to set up GitLab Runner on a Windows Server

When I first started my current job, one of the first things I did was set up a GitLab server. I wanted it to be the central place for version control and CI/CD. I’d used GitLab at my previous job and really liked it, so I wanted to use it again.

How to figure out what old scripts are meant to do, and even improve and document them quickly: https://www.randriksen.net/powershell/2023/10/20/easy-way-to-figure-out-what-old-scripts-do.html

An easy way to figure out what old scripts actually do, document them and maybe even improve them

In most of my jobs in the last 12 years, I’ve encountered situations where my predecessors had already left before I started, and I had to search far and wide for documentation on how they had set up the systems. Sometimes the documentation was available, and sometimes it wasn’t. At times, it was fairly up-to-date, but most of the time, it was quite outdated.
