New year, new chances!

First of all, I’d like to wish everyone visiting my page a happy 2017 🙂

I hope everyone had a blast and is eager to learn some more in the new year.

As for myself, just before the year had ended, so did my previous assignment. Luckily a new assignment was already in the works and I literally went to job A on Tuesday and job B on Wednesday. This means new workplace, new technologies, new people etc.

Since I’m used to various different customers and technologies, the biggest thing was trying to figure out what they used, how they use it and then try and figure out which part of the technology I don’t know yet and get familiar with it.

What does this mean?

To my great surprise I had arrived at my new assignment to find out that this environment is one of the most up-to-date and neatest environments I’ve worked on so far!

Besides that, I saw various PowerShell scripts being used and technologies I haven’t played with or didn’t have the time to properly play with through PowerShell. After being here for about 3 weeks now, I’ve come to learn that not all scripts seem to work properly, or should perhaps do more. Another thing is that there are various technologies used where they didn’t even know how to use through PowerShell, so there’s a lot of fun times up ahead!

Some of the technologies I’ve already been playing around with are:

• VMware ESX 6+
• Citrix XenDesktop
• Microsoft MDT
• Exchange/Office 365 hybrid solution
• Microsoft Azure

Of course besides the usual suspects like AD and general Windows functionality.

Now what?

Well, as you might’ve already noticed I’ve posted 2 MDT scripts recently to help me automate processes I have run into.

I’ve also been asked by various people already if I can assist them with scripting solutions, either helping them with their personal code or creating a solution from scratch.  Perhaps I’ll even see if I can provide a small training on basics of PowerShell and tips & tricks.

All in all, I’m quite happy with where I am right now and I hope to be able to script more on a daily base and provide blog updates of my results along the way!

For now, happy scripting all! 🙂
