Hey everyone! My name is Jim Tyler. I’m a Microsoft MVP for PowerShell and the author of PowerShell for Systems Engineers: Leveraging Automation & ChatGPT to Solve Business Problems - available in full-color print on Amazon or on Kindle. I also have over 10,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, PowerShell Engineer - please subscribe if you haven’t already! Connect with me on LinkedIn (I will connect back!)

I’m also the maker of an open-source disk cleaning script available in over 109 different languages, as well as a Ghost, a comprehensive PowerShell hardening tool that disables various protocols and services to mitigate lateral movement and reconnaissance of threat actors in your environment.
