@Sander_deWit I hadn't realized that someone else was working on this topic in depth. I'll take a look at your module.

@NickInformation that looks interesting. I’ve just updated my msix ps module as well. still need to quite a bit but I like my win11 sandbox integration. install-module msix

We have released our universal modern shell extension for MSIX packages. It is intended as a replacement and can, among other things, auto patch WinRAR for #MSIX using my #PowerShell module #MSIXForcelets github.com/AndreasNick/Ms…

Ups, friendly reminder: New-Item -Force file.txt on an existing file in #PowerShell doesn't "ensure it exists". It truncates it. Silently.

Disable AppReadiness for better #AppX #MSIX performance on terminalserver – bad advice. Without it, MSIX provisioning falls apart and self-heal turns into a full-time job. Leave it on Automatic. Some Windows services are only "useless" until you switch them off :-)

We now have a pretty useful fix for #MSIX and #Acrobat Reader DC. It's freely available in our #PowerShell module, MSIXForcelets. github.com/AndreasNick/MS…

We have updated our PowerShell module for #Microsoft #MSIX and #PSF (Package Support Framework) automation. It now includes some new features, such as Tim Mangan’s new FTACom and MFR Fixups. The complete fixup for Acrobat is working again. github.com/AndreasNick/MS…

Great, Microsoft has now announced official support for #AppAttach for #MSIX and #AppV for Server 2022/2025 in Azure. If something doesn't work, recreate it in Azure and open a support ticket ;-) techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azurevirt…

Here's how easy it is to get a sorted list of all installed #Windows Server features using #PowerShell :-) Get-WindowsFeature | Where-Object { $_.InstallState -eq "Installed" } | Sort-Object Name | Format-Table Name, DisplayName, InstallState -AutoSize

Today we released the first public version of ZeroPortal — a free drop-in replacement for the Microsoft App-V Publishing Server, which is discontinued in April 2026. Compatible with the App-V PS client. HA clustering Reporting included. 🔗 zeroportal.de #AppV

I have a small script here for testing the #Citrix LAS licensing ports from the on-premises license server. Of course, you can also use it in a similar way for other firewall testing tasks. github.com/AndreasNick/Po…

CMTrace.exe requires a SCCM license, so if you`re unlicensed you should use LogExpert instead to analyze @MSIntune logs. Heck, you can even use the free version of @MasterPackager to create a MSI. github.com/LogExperts/Log…
