In Part 2 of this series, we'll learn how to use PowerShell to call the Stable Diffusion API directly, moving from a simple proof-of-concept script to a GUI-based tool for generating AI images on local hardware.
Build a cloud-free AI image generation workflow by wiring Stable Diffusion into Windows PowerShell, using open source tools and local hardware to create images directly from scripts.
A real-world recovery scenario shows how immutable backups can provide long-term protection against silent data loss that falls outside the reach of typical retention policies.
A yearlong PowerShell experiment to bring AI in-house evolved from a simple proof of concept into a production-ready, stateful chatbot that now largely replaces the author's reliance on cloud-based AI services.
Hyper-V administrators can quickly resolve four common errors by identifying their root causes--from permissions and VM corruption to network switch conflicts and storage access issues--and applying straightforward corrective steps.
Here are my five deliberately non-obvious predictions for 2026, from AI agents managing other agents to a possible slowdown in major tech announcements as organizations reassess where real value is emerging.
Time to revisit my five major predictions for last year -- from AI adoption and Windows Recall to automation and Teams extensibility -- to see which calls landed, which missed and what the results say about 2025.
A practical guide for IT pros on how to structure clearer, more effective prompts to get more accurate and useful results from Copilot and other AI chatbots.
AI-driven automation is poised to simplify traditional software management while shifting IT pros toward higher-level responsibilities in compliance, integration and data governance.
AI agents promise relief from the infinite workday, but delegating to digital teams may create new pressures that leave employees carrying an even heavier load.
Microsoft now lets global and AI admins submit detailed diagnostic logs and user-specific context to help improve Copilot performance when issues arise.
Let's take a look at how Microsoft 365 Copilot Search bookmarks let admins pin trusted resources to the top of results using titles, descriptions, keywords, reserved keywords and optional targeting controls.
A well-defined set of acronyms and bookmarks can help Copilot Search deliver more accurate, organization-specific results for users.
Let's dive into some practical advice on naming conventions, variable management and code organization to keep dot sourced scripts efficient, consistent and secure.
Dot sourcing can simplify large PowerShell scripts -- but without a clear structure, it can quickly lead to chaos.
