Powershellisfun is a collection of PowerShell scripts drawn from the PowerShellisfun.com blog, aimed at Windows and Microsoft 365 administrators who want ready-made examples for reporting, deployment, and endpoint management tasks.

What it is

Powershellisfun is an MIT-licensed PowerShell script repository that accompanies the blog at powershellisfun.com. Rather than shipping a single application or library, it is a directory of individual scripts, each linked in the README to the blog post that explains its usage, context, and background. The repository sits in the Microsoft administration ecosystem, with topics spanning Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Exchange, Intune, Endpoint Manager, Hyper-V, and general networking.

The concrete problem it addresses is the recurring need to write one-off administrative and reporting scripts from scratch. Common tasks — checking 365 service health, reporting on Active Directory admin group changes, inventorying scheduled tasks running local and domain accounts, or reporting on DNS lookups and PST files — are already solved elsewhere but typically require an administrator to derive the approach from documentation alone. This repository provides working scripts alongside their explanatory write-ups, so the problem of assembling and understanding such automation is handled by the linked blog content rather than by each reader independently.

Key capabilities

• Report on Microsoft 365 service health via the 365 Health Status script and its associated blog post.
• Report on changed Active Directory administrative groups, and inventory scheduled tasks configured with local or domain accounts.
• Deploy and manage printers, printer drivers, and print configurations through Intune and Endpoint Manager, including disabling idle power save via Intune.
• Copy Exchange Full Access and Send As permissions between users, and copy Exchange Receive Connector settings.
• Perform endpoint security checks, including identifying non-Microsoft-signed Windows services and checking whether a shortened URL link is safe.
• Build a development Windows Sandbox using PowerShell and winget, and deploy and automatically update winget apps in Intune without remediation or third-party tools.
• Automate Hyper-V tasks such as compacting VHDX files, creating a VM from Windows Server evaluation versions, and uploading a Windows Autopilot hardware hash for Autopilot registration.

Who uses it and how

• Windows administrators who want a starting point for Active Directory group-change reporting and scheduled-task inventories across servers.
• Endpoint administrators managing Windows devices through Intune and Endpoint Manager, using the printer, power-save, and winget deployment scripts as deployment patterns.
• Exchange administrators copying permissions and Receive Connector settings during migrations or tenant work.
• Hyper-V users automating VM creation, VHDX compaction, and Autopilot hardware hash registration.
• Readers of the PowerShellisfun.com blog who want the full script behind a given post rather than code fragments copied from an article.

Getting started

There is no packaged install, Docker image, or hosted option; you clone the repository and open the individual PowerShell script corresponding to the blog post you are following, since the README links each directory entry to its post for usage information.

How it compares

It stands alone in this registry as a script-and-blog companion rather than a tool with a comparable project listed alongside it.

When to use it — and when not to

Use it when you want a working, MIT-licensed example for a specific Microsoft administration task and are comfortable adapting the script to your own environment. It is not a self-hosted service, so there is no database, storage, or SMTP to operate, but neither does it come as a unified tool with an install path or a single entry point — the reader must find the relevant script and read the linked post to run it correctly. Because scripts are tied to individual blog posts and cover a wide spread of domains, it should not be chosen as a substitute for a supported product or a maintained module.
