My Windows Utilities

 ·  ☕ 3 min read

Over the years I’ve built a number of Windows Utilities. These scripts are aimed at IT workers and enthusiasts to help automate common tasks. I maintain them on GitHub and also make them available on Microsoft’s PowerShell Gallery. Below are links to the documentation pages for each utility.

These are free for anyone to use, but if you like them and want to support their development monetarily, please check out these links:

Retired Utilities

Similar to the AD User Creation Utility, this script created on-prem mailboxes for new users. Retired due to e-mail largely moving to the cloud.

Automated Office 365 Licensing

A script used to sync new on-prem AD users with their needed Office 365 licenses. Retired due to this feature now being in Azure AD/Office 365.
