After posting many random PowerShell scripts in my blog , I packaged them up into a common module to make sharing and incorporating easier. Please fork and let me know if there's any bugs you find. I hope you find it useful.
WintellectPowerShell is in the PowerShell Gallery. To install, execute the following command:
Install-Module -Name WintellectPowerShell -Scope CurrentUser If you had a previous version of WintellectPowerShell installed and you get an error about the 'Authenticode issuer' that is because I had to renew my code signature file. Add the -SkipPublisherCheck to the above command. All required files are properly digitally signed.
Here's the about text showing all cmdlets. Of course, all cmdlets have detailed help for more information.
TOPIC about_WintellectPowerShell SHORT DESCRIPTION Provides cmdlets for setting up symbol servers and other functionality related to debugging and performance tuning. LONG DESCRIPTION This module makes setting up symbol servers and source server debugging functionality easier to control for Visual Studio 2013 through 2017 and WinDBG. Setting up a development machine for symbol server access is more difficult than it needs to be but no more. You can have any combination of Visual Studio 2013 through 2017, and WinDBG on the computer for these cmdlets to work. These cmdlets had been originally developed as PowerShell scripts by John Robbins and released on his blog. This module combines all the separate scripts to make everything easier to manage. If you have any questions, suggestions, or bug reports, please contact John at john@wintellect.com. The following cmdlets are included.
