If you use F5’s BIG‑IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) for load-balancing, then you may find the new PS module I’ve written helpful. The module uses the REST API in ver. 11.6 of the LTM to query and manipulate an F5 LTM device. You can add and remove members from a pool, enable and disable them, and find out what pools a member is in, among other things. I’ve made the module files available here.

I posted Part 2 of using PowerShell to create small footprint VHDX that are fully patched. Patching and Cleanup via PowerShell
I’m starting a new blog series on using PowerShell to create small footprint VHDX that are fully patched.
First off - thank you to everyone who participated in the version control survey! We’ve had a fun few weeks - Somehow the PowerShell Summit, Build, and Ignite were scheduled back-to-back-to-back. Among a host of other announcements and tidbits, we found that Microsoft has open sourced the DSC resources on GitHub, that Pester will be included in Windows, and saw a cool demonstration from Steven Murawski on using Test Kitchen to test DSC resources.
Edit: The results are in. I was watching Don and Jeffrey’s PowerShell Unplugged session from Ignite the other day, and something stood out. At 30 minutes in, Don asked the crowd whether they were using source control. Based on the video, the crowd wasn’t big on source control. I work in IT. If I asked that same question at work, I would likely get a similar response. Why is that? Source control is incredibly important and can drive a number of other processes, yet it seems to be an afterthought for many IT professionals.
I have created a short blog series about how to setup the DSC tooling from the PowerShell.org DSC repository. With the mindset of contributing changes.

I had a good deal of yard work to do this weekend; I see yard work in a similar way that a click-next-admin sees Windows PowerShell. I want no part in it. So I wrote a quick bit on how we can deal with the click-next-admin. Jeffrey Snover recently gave a TechDays Online session where he candidly asked us to “make today the last day you hire a click next admin.
There was a brief and lively discussion on Twitter recently stemming from someone asking for advice on how to convince management to turn on Remoting.
“Fire Management, if they have to ask” was apparently not an option, although it should have been. I mean, at this stage, you either know the value of PowerShell and its Remoting technology, or you’re being willfully ignorant.
But that wasn’t where the discussion got lively.
Not too long ago, over on DonJones.com, I wrote an article that tried to explain some of the confusion between Microsoft’s World of Management Instrumentation - e.g., WMI, OMI, CIM, and a bunch of other acronyms. I glossed over some of the finer details, and this article is intended to provide more specificity and accuracy - thanks to Microsoft’s Keith Bankston for helping me sort things out. CIM and the DMTF Let us begin with CIM.
