Today I ran into an issue where I had to quickly import x amount of users into an empty trial tenant from
Office 365 in order for to prepare the future mail migration. Because I'm trying to get everything running through PowerShell, I thought this would be a nice moment to
document everything for future use and for other people to see how it's done [or give tips 😉 ] Getting user information from Active Directory First of all I had to get the current user information from Active Directory in a format that I can use in

As I’m pondering what to write for my first proper techy blog post, I’ve got to thinking about WHY I’ve chosen to blog in the first place.
Re-inventing the wheel can troublesome and tiresome, and on the other hand constantly telling the same story like a broken record can cause motivational issues..
So I’ve decided to make my own little resource page to answer the question “Where to I begin when I want to learn PowerShell?”.

I will try and keep these updated on a regular basis in case something new pops up or in case things change/get outdated.

After giving it a lot of thought for a long time, I’ve decided to start blogging.
Inspired by my colleague’s great blog, I will now try and write down my thoughts and experiences of my day to day IT life 🙂
Don’t expect daily updates, but I’ll try my best to keep people entertained…
