PowerShell for AdminsMicrosoft Publishes DSC Resource Kit in GitHub
When Microsoft first released the DSC Resource Kit (in Wave 10 as of this writing), they opened the door to community contributions. Our own PowerShell.org GitHub repo consists partly of DSC resource that used Microsoft’s code as a baseline, and then corrected problems or expanded capabilities.
What we never had was a way for Microsoft to circle back, pick up those enhancements, and include them as part of an official future Resource Kit Wave. Now, we do.

PowerShell for AdminsHome Labs for the IT pro
Every IT pro needs a lab. It’s not just the fact that we all have a little mad scientist in us, it’s a playground for experimentation and learning. By “lab” I do not mean a formal test or dev environment, but a much more informal setting that typically goes before the “dev” part gets started. This lab need not be expensive. A little creative repurposing and virtualization will go a long way towards getting started with a home lab.

PowerShell for AdminsPowerShell v5: Misc Goodness (including Auditing)
Aside from classes and new DSC features, which I’ve already written about, there are a number of less-headline, but still-very-awesome, new capabilities. This article is based on the September 2014 preview release of WMF 5.0. Information is highly subject to change. First up is the **ability to automatically create PowerShell cmdlets from an OData endpoint. **Huh? OData is a kind of web service (basically); PowerShell gains the ability to look at the endpoint and construct a set of proxy cmdlets that let you interact with the endpoint more naturally.

PowerShell for AdminsPowerShell v5: What's New in DSC
When Desired State Configuration (DSC) came out - gosh, just about a year ago - I kept telling people that there was more to come. And a lot of it is now just around the corner in PowerShell v5. This article is written to the September 2014 preview release - things may change for the final release. A major set of changes in DSC is a much more detailed and granular configuration of the Local Configuration Manager (LCM), the local “agent” that makes DSC work on the target node.
