Basic PowerShell Toolmaking - Spiceworld 2016 session
Basic PowerShell Toolmaking - Spiceworld 2016 sessionRob Dunn PowerShell is everywhere. Admit it, even if you don't like change, you've probably needed to run a one-off command or small script in order to accomplish something...whether it was in AD, Exchange, VMWare or something else.
Running a single command is one thing, but what about making a reusable piece of code that anyone can run, or even better, schedule it? Get a report every Monday about drive space, remove old log files every month, report on logon failures...
We're going to take a command that fulfills a 'single-serving' role and turn it into something more dynamic; something that can be run over and over and be both relevant and timely!
Be ready to learn about parameters, basic functions, comment-based help, and other useful techniques - bring your laptop and code along with us!

Slide deck from Jared Thibodeau’s webinar "Taking Advantage of Microsoft PowerShell”. IT administration tasks have usually required manual, point and click operations. Those days are gone; not only is manual action no longer necessary, but your IT technologists can’t afford the time to manually do what can be easily automated and taken off their plate. PowerShell provides an intuitive way to turn time-consuming grunt work into simple, repeatable, scriptable commands. The webinar covered what you can administer with PowerShell, executing and combining multiple PowerShell commands, ways to format report information, how to perform actions on remote computers using PowerShell.

In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.

Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMs
Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMsFrancesco Corti In today's AI development landscape, developers face significant challenges when building applications that leverage powerful large language models (LLMs) through SaaS platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. While these services offer impressive capabilities, they come with substantial costs that can quickly escalate especially during the development lifecycle. Additionally, the inherent latency of web-based APIs creates frustrating bottlenecks during the critical testing and iteration phases of development, slowing down innovation and frustrating developers.
This talk will introduce the transformative approach of integrating local LLMs directly into their development environments. By bringing these models closer to where the code lives, developers can dramatically accelerate development lifecycles while maintaining complete control over model selection and configuration. This methodology effectively reduces costs to zero by eliminating dependency on pay-per-use SaaS services, while opening new possibilities for comprehensive integration testing, rapid prototyping, and specialized use cases.
