Control the number of TAB spaces with Sapien PowerShell Studio

Every time that I upgrade my version of PowerShell, one of the first things that I do is to look to see if the ISE will allow me to set the number of spaces that the TAB adds.  I like 2, but the default is 4.  So far, no luck in setting this.  I use the TAB a lot to show nested items.  As my logic becomes more complex, horizontal scrolling can become an issue.  In Sapien PowerShell Studio 2015, you can the TAB size.

Adding a Comment to a GPO with PowerShell

As I'm writing this article, I'm also writing a customization for a PowerShell course I'm teaching next week in Phoenix.  This customization deals with Group Policy and PowerShell.  For those of you who attend my classes may already know this, but I sit their and try to ask the questions to myself that others may ask as I present the material.  I finished up my customization a few hours ago and then I realized that I did not add in how to put a comment on a GPO.  This is a feature that many Group Policy Administrators may not be aware of.

In the Group Policy module for PowerShell V3, th

( Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $Set2 -DifferenceObject $Set1 ) . InputObject | Select-Object – Unique 1 2 This works with objects as well as numbers.  The first command creates a collection with 2 duplicates of both 1 and 2.   The second command creates another collection with the duplicates filtered out.  The Compare-Object cmdlet will first find items that are diffe
