I have been working on this for while but I am truly happy to announce that I have released a new book: PowerShell for Beginners. Download the book from my website, I promise I will make a video and then upload everything on Udemy. Hope you enjoy it! https://t.co/fW8AXLUprU

❗️❗️❗️Important notification for Endpoint Admins ❗️❗️❗️

Impacts both win32 apps and scripts in Intune.

Unfortunate timing combined with a very late notification - surely this could have been handled differently ...

Either I’m getting old and I’m not excited for new releases like the Iphone, either the new products are just boring and don’t bring that “wow” that was back in the days
