It’s been a bit, but what are your favorite PowerShell modules these days? Are you using AI on the fly to make what you need? Or maybe a mixture of both? Would love to hear, and give ideas to others that may solve their issues!

Last Friday of May, what did you do with PowerShell this month? I worked on some scripts for creating apps in Entra, Export Conditional Access Policies, and Export Defender Policies/Settings. I’ll see if I can put some blogs together for them too.

Mostly updated the db, but added some backend improv to make deploying faster - new version of EntraFIDOFinder is out which is a PowerShell module that shows which FIDO2 keys are attestation compatible with EntraFIDOFinder! clatent.com/2026/05/new-...

Friendly Friday Reminder: Friends don’t let friends allow everyone in the company to make a Microsoft Team. Today may be a good day to see how many extra Teams there are, especially those public ones. Hoping there is no confidential information in them!

How secure is your Microsoft Teams? And how confident that it is secure? What would be your ideal way to secure it besides just flat out blocking it? 😆

One thing I really appreciate learning #PowerShell is how it demystified so much for me. Actually being able to poke and query things gave me the closure my brain needed to really understand the tech I was using What accelerated that learning? Asking questions 1/2

I'm looking for #PowerShell modules that can be used for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). Something similar to solutions that scan Active Directory for permissions and security issues and produce reports, except for Azure, AWS, GCP, etc.
