  • So far… meh

    I came here looking for details and information about how to use power shell and so far all I have found is cheerleading. And that is ok, but what I wanted was to dig into the substance of this tool.

Building Better SharePoint with PowerShell with Dan Adams
Q: What would be your starter pack for interacting with SharePoint?
Use PNP PowerShell as a go-to starting point for bulk operations, then layer in a module approach for parallelization and scale; start with templated sites and assets to demonstrate bulk provisioning.
Building Better SharePoint with PowerShell with Dan Adams
Q: So is SharePoint like your baby, but you just also have to do M365 like in your brain? Where does that fall?
SharePoint is central but intertwined with the broader M365 ecosystem; the key is understanding its architecture and how it underpins Copilot, Purview, and retention while leveraging PowerShell as the automation layer.
PowerShell Universal and the Joy of Building with Adriano Carollo
Q: How did you get into IT?
I started at a young age due to family and life needs, earned foundational IT certifications, then gradually moved into PowerShell and scripting, which set the course for my career and led me to PSU and PowerShell community work.
PowerShell Universal and the Joy of Building with Adriano Carollo
Q: Berlin is mentioned as a preferred location for PSConfEU next year. Why Berlin?
