Welcome to pwshtips.com, an independent technical blog dedicated to practical PowerShell scripting, Windows administration, WSL workflows, and automation.
Who Writes PwshTips
Mimi – Systems Administrator with 10+ years of hands-on experience.
Windows and Linux expert specializing in mixed-OS automation with a strong focus on PowerShell. This site documents real administration work: scripts, troubleshooting notes, deployment patterns, and command-line workflows drawn from production environments rather than generic summaries.
Editorial Philosophy: “Real World First”
The internet is full of “Hello World” examples. This site is meant to be more useful than that.
The editorial approach is built on three pillars:
- Practicality: Articles should solve real problems that appear in system administration, automation, troubleshooting, or deployment work.
- Accuracy: Commands and scripts should be reviewed and tested where practical before publication.
- Depth: Articles should explain the why and how behind the commands so readers can adapt them to their own environments.
What This Site Covers
Content is written for IT professionals who want to improve practical skills in:
- Advanced Scripting: Beyond the basics of loops and variables.
- System Administration: Managing Windows, Linux, and Active Directory at scale.
- Security: Hardening systems and managing permissions with precision.
- DevOps & Automation: Integrating PowerShell into CI/CD pipelines and cloud workflows.
- MISC: Practical notes that sit outside the core PowerShell sections, starting with Go and leaving room for future JavaScript, Python, Bash, and other tooling guides.
