I just wrote a blog post about configuring the Windows Time service from #powershell. Actually it mostly shows you the native w32tm command, but you can tweak a couple of registry values to turn your computer into an NTP server so there's like three lines of powershell. Enjoy!

#pwsh tip of the day! For loops are awesome! for($i = 1 ; $i -lt 3; $i ++) { Write-Host "I count: $i"} starting at 1 do whatever is between {}, and then increment $i by 1, while $i is less than 3. This example will run 3 times. Pretty neat, huh?! Happy scripting!

#pwsh tip of the day! Defining a ParameterSetName is case sensitive! [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'foo')] is DIFFERENT from [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Foo')] Ask me how I know! And, as always.... Happy Scripting!

#pwsh tip of the day! Use .GetEnumerator() to iterator over a hashtable! $h = @{ Name = 'Stevie'} $h.GetEnumerator() | Foreach-Object { Write-Host "My $($_.Key) is $($_.Value)!"} In the foreach loop use $_.Key and $_.Value to access each respectively. Happy scripting!

#pwsh tip of the day! User prompts can be an effective input mechanism in your scripts. In PowerShell, you can use Read-Host to capture input. Here's a simple example I wrote to help you grasp the concept: gist.github.com/steviecoaste... Happy scripting! And check docs for more goodies!

#pwsh tip of the day! You can throw your own custom exceptions in PowerShell by creating a class that inherits from System.Exception. If you don't do much with classes, this is a pretty friendly way to ease into them. Check the gist linked for a quick sample. Happy Scripting!

#pwsh tip of the day! Good help should have an online equivalent. Adding support for the -Online switch is easy. Rather put a link to help in the first .LINK of comment based help, or in HelpUri of [CmdletBinding()]. NOTE that a .LINK will _override_ HelpUri if both defined! Happy scripting!
