    Dec 7, 2016 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    One of my favorite things in PowerShell (and other languages) is the switch statement. It's clean and a much better alternative to a ton of if elses. Ever had this happen? 1if ($state -eq -1) 2{ 3 $diskstate = "Unknown" 4} 5elseif ($state -eq 0) 6{ 7 $diskstate = "Inherited" 8} 9elseif ($state -eq 1) …

    Dec 3, 2016 · 5 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Last year, I was looking into multi-threading in PowerShell and, with the help of Dr. Tobias Weltner, Boe Prox and Martin Pugh ultimately decided on runspaces. Then, I presented at psconf.eu about using runspaces to speed up SQL Server/CSV imports. Runspaces took me from about 90,000 rows per second to 230,000 rows per …
