    Migrating from Team Foundation Version Control to Git (and preferably at scale)

    I've been wanting to write this post for a while (a few years) now and I never took the time. At some point I just thought that it wasn't relevant anymore, but since I'm working on a project in a similar context and I feel that the need still does exist, I could not refrain myself and write this thing down. If you …

    Using the 'tf.exe' command to clean up old TFVC workspaces

    Today, a colleague contacted me with an issue that he encountered during one of his builds: The problem lies with something legacy that we try not to use anymore wherever possible, but in this case, there seems to be an exception. In Azure DevOps, the default for version control was once (actually not that long …

    Certified as Azure Solutions Architect

    Last week I wrote about studying for the "Azure Solutions Architect exams" and in that article I mentioned that I completed the first requirement for this certification, namely the Microsoft exam: Exam AZ-303: Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies . Today, just one week later, I'm happy to announce that I …

    Studying for the Azure Solutions Architect exams

    Yesterday I did something I haven't done for a few (4-5) years: I completed an "official" exam! (In this case it was a Microsoft exam) What/Why I started studying for the exam in December and because of work (and life) it took a bit longer than expected. (Initially, I was really optimistic and my thought was …

    There is a (hidden) world clock in windows

    Every so now and then, you might have to set up meetings with people from somewhere else on our little planet. It is already complex most of the times if you have to do this within a single time zone, but it gets even more complex when you have step outside one time zone. In the beginning, I counted the difference to …

    Sleepy tabs in MS Edge

    If you are like me and have always a huge amount of tabs open in your active browser(s), then you might like the introduction of sleepy tabs in Microsoft Edge (the new one based on Chromium)! It was introduced a few weeks ago, but at the time I only managed to take a screenshot of it (the introduction) back then... …

    Account for breaks between meetings in outlook when planning

    Chances are real that you have been working from home for a while now and that (like it is the case with me) your days are filled with online meetings. Those meetings are typically planned back to back, leaving no room for a little break. Those little breaks were typically inherent to switches between meeting rooms or …

    Open Link as in Microsoft Edge when using profiles

    I have been working with the new Microsoft Edge for a few months now. This browser is (just like Chrome) based on chromium and offers quite some features. You can thus compare it to google chrome with the difference that Microsoft and Google each have their own approach to quite some elements. Microsoft has published a …

    Getting an overview of local admin privileges in a domain

    From time to time you want to find out who has local admin permissions in your domain... As it is typically a bad practice to give too much permissions, you really want to be able to find out easily. In that context, I created a small PowerShell script that allows me to retrieve this info relatively easy... It produces …
