Microsoft MVP for Remote Desktop Services again
Published on 01 Oct 2015I am honored and proud to announce that I have been awarded the Most Valuable Professional - MVP for Remote Desktop Services (RDS). This has been the sixth time in a row!

Today I talked about #Azure #RemoteApp at #DuCuG in Amsterdam. I’d like to share my slide deck and the code for one of my demos.
There are many examples how to install Windows Updates from PowerShell using the .NET classes in the namespace Microsoft.Update.Session. Those implementations are all blocking meaning that it is not possible to retrieve progress information. This post presents VBScript code to install Windows Updates asynchonously which cannot be done from PowerShell. Although this code does not solve the issue that downloading and installing Windows updates cannot be performed in a PowerShell remote session, it provides better visibility of the progress.
Unfortunately, it is often necessary to call external programs from PowerShell. Whenever this is done, the controlling code needs to process output and errors. Some of those tools implement long running tasks which do not provide any progress information. This post presents a code to intercept progress messages from standard output to display progress from external programs.
Whenever a PowerShell job attempts to display progress, it is intercepted and stored for progressing by the controlling code outside the job. This allows for displaying progress from PowerShell jobs on the console.
I have recently build a custom Minecraft server for some friends. Although there is a lot of content about Minecraft and the server software out there, I have not found a comprehensive guide how to go about this. Therefore this post describes how I have built and configured the server software.
It is often necessary to repeat the same code with different arguments and use PowerShell jobs to speed up the process. Depending on the resources required by the code it may be necessary to limit parallel execution to a certain number of parallel jobs. In this post, I will present code to use PowerShell jobs to process such a queue with throttling.
I recently talked about PowerShell Desired State Configuration, #PSDSC at #DCUG - a German speaking Citrix User Group. I’d like to share my slide deck and the code for my demo.
Last week I talked about #Azure #RemoteApp at #VCNRW, the Virtualization Community NRW in Cologne, Germany. I’d like to share my slide deck and the code for one of my demos.
I had the chance to talk about PowerShell Desired State Configuration or short #PSDSC at #E2EVC Berlin. I’d like to share my slide deck, the code for my demos and the videos I recorded for two of my demos.
