PowerShell Servicing Drops Bump .NET SDKs Across the Board
Jason Shigetomi shipped a wave of servicing updates across the PowerShell repository on GitHub, rolling out releases for v7.4.20, v7.5.11, and v7.6.6 alongside the fresh v7.7.0-preview.4 build. The stable patches bring vital pipeline fixes and underlying runtime bumps up to .NET SDK 10.0.401, while v7.6.6 specifically resolves a FileOnlyEntry crash on older Windows releases.

Guerrilla 2.54.0 is on the PowerShell Gallery
Yours truly shipped Guerrilla 2.54.0 is on the PowerShell Gallery with four new Google Workspace checks, closing the CISA SCuBA Drive policies that only bind when external sharing is turned on.
DRIVE-019 checks that users are warned before sharing outside the organization. DRIVE-020 that sharing is limited to people who actually hold a Google account, rather than a visitor link with a PIN. DRIVE-021 that publishing files to the open web is off, and DRIVE-022 that nobody can move your content into a shared drive owned by another organization.
All four read a policy the scan already collects, so there is no new API scope and no new delegation to grant.
The part I care about is what they say when the control does not apply. Block external sharing entirely and none of those four mean anything, so the check tells you that instead of returning a bare pass that looks identical to somebody having verified the setting.
SCuBA Google Workspace coverage is now 110 of 138.

Solving Practical Problems with David McFall
David McFall joined Andrew Pla on The PowerShell Podcast to break down how administrators can extract massive value from automation without needing to be scripting experts. He highlights practical wins across Active Directory, Microsoft Graph, and PDQ, focusing on device posture reporting and surfacing hardware gaps to streamline daily systems management.
Why Microsoft Graph Rejects Group Mailboxes
Tony Redmond at Office 365 for IT Pros breaks down why running cmdlets like Get-MgUserMailFolder against Microsoft 365 Groups throws an ErrorInvalidUser failure. The limitation comes down to architectural identity design, because the Graph Outlook Mail API strictly targets user accounts while Outlook desktop relies on private internal endpoints to render group mailbox content.

Fake Captchas Turn PowerShell Into an Enterprise Gateway
Alexander Culafi at Dark Reading breaks down TerminalFix, a social engineering campaign that tricks users into pasting clipboard code into Windows Terminal to solve fake Cloudflare prompts. The payload drops a stealthy DLL sideloading chain and an encrypted reverse tunnel, handing attackers direct network access before defenders realize anything ran.
Formatting the Win32_Process Object
Jeff Hicks at Behind the PowerShell Pipeline breaks down how to make custom Win32_Process objects look and feel just like standard Get-Process output. He demonstrates extracting native formatting directives with Get-FormatData and exporting them directly to format.ps1xml files, bypassing the old manual XML authoring process entirely.

The walkthrough highlights practical troubleshooting wins using Get-ComputerInfo, Get-Service, Get-Process, Get-NetIPConfiguration, and Test-Connection to rapidly gather hardware details, verify network reachability, and diagnose frozen applications right from the console.
Hardening Entra GSA Client Deployment in Intune
Richard Hicks over breaks down critical production flaws in Microsoft’s sample Intune installation script for the Entra Global Secure Access client. His refactored version prevents broken network configurations by preserving existing IPv6 DisabledComponents registry flags, validates the installer Authenticode signature, and routes transcripts straight into the Intune Management Extension diagnostic logs.
