  • Haiku #98

    This haiku is about elves roaming around replicating things. Or something like that. Maybe you should read it and see if you can figure out what it's about.

  • How Do We Love Performance Counters? Let Us Count the Ways

  • Haiku #153

    Do you want your Lync Server administrators to be able to enable a topology? Then you need the CsSetupPermission cmdlets. And no, it doesn't even matter what day it is.

  • Haiku #154

    Weddings are joyous occasions, especially when they're celebrated with Lync Server PowerShell cmdlets. The CsManagementServer cmdlets in particular add a special sense of happiness and well-being.

  • Haiku #155

    If there's anything more fun than flying down a long hill on a bicycle it must be working with Lync Server PowerShell cmdlets. Mostly because the cmdlets don't make you go up the hill first. The CsHostingProvider cmdlets are especially enjoyable, and there's very little chance that you'll crash at the bottom.

  • Haiku #156

    A haiku only a mother could love. Well, at least the haiku author's mother. Right, Mom? Mom? Oh well, everyone should find the stuff about Call Admission Control interesting, anyway. Right? Anyone?

  • Haiku #157

    In life, you have to take the good with the bad. The good, of course, always including the daily Lync Server PowerShell haiku. And in this article, it even includes a little something about the New-CsClientPolicyEntry cmdlet. Now that's what we call good. We'll let you deal with any bad you might run into on your own, since we know it couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lync Server PowerShell.

  • Haiku #160

    It's raining again. Sprinkling, really. Time for a donut, and some CsVoiceTestConfiguration cmdlets.

  • Haiku #161

    As our sleep-deprived haiku writer heads off to a conference, he leaves us with a truly fascinating article on Web Server certificates. At least it seemed fascinating to the sleep-deprived writer. If you're awake and don't find it so fascinating, try it again when you're really tired and see if that helps.

  • Haiku #162

    Ready for some fun? If so, you have to try the Lync Server CsTrustedApplicationPool cmdlets. Working with those cmdlets is even more fun than getting your hair cut.

  • Haiku #163

    We may have missed National Doughnut Day, but we didn't miss the Haiku-of-the-Day. Today we talk about the CsDiagnosticConfiguration cmdlets. Unfortunately they don't come with chocolate frosting or sprinkles.

    It's 3:00 AM, do you know where your Lync Server PowerShell haiku is? You probably didn't at 3:00 AM, but then again, neither did we. But it's here now, and it's all about importing announcement files.
