PowerShell now comes in two flavours, (Vanilla) Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core (..Rocky Road? ice cream flavour TBD). PowerShell Core is a version of PowerShell built on top of .NET Core. The GA version of PowerShell Core is due to be released on the 10th January and Release Candidate versions have been available for some time.
I recently resolved an issue with our Isilon storage cluster that was causing file writes to be interrupted and fail. While diagnosing the issue I discovered that (intriguingly) the disruption was occurring at (almost) exact 10 minute intervals. Any in progress write operation occurring at that interval would fail.
I was recently tasked with investigating how we could store the configuration of our SQL Server Reporting Services report subscriptions in a source control and then automate the process of (later) configuring them in one or more new SSRS servers.

As introduced in my previous post, this is part one of a four part series that documents some things I discovered or had clarified by reading the excellent Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches book (recently released in 3rd edition).
I got started with PowerShell thanks to the encouragement and enthusiasm of a friend and former colleague. Following that, I’ve largely developed my knowledge through the standard combinations of trial + error + googling and more recently (as is evident) by doing my best to engage with and give back to the community.
