Office 365: Office 2016 Installation from USBKey using relative path

Thu, 09 Mar 2017 22:31:32 +0200

[30/04/17] Update: Following this post, I’ve pushed this script to GitHub if you want to contribute.

I was trying to use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) with a relative path for our Office 2016 ProPlus deployment (on USB Key & Hard Drive).

USB Keys are mounted each time with different letters depending on how many devices are already mounted. I was stuck because the ODT XML Configuration file does not support relative paths.

Using Jira REST API with PowerShell

Tue, 03 Jan 2017 22:31:32 +0200

For automation purposes, I needed a tool to interact with the REST API of Atlassian Jira over PowerShell commands.

I found a great module developed by replicaJunction and contributors on GitHub called PSJira.

Installation

You will need

PowerShell >=3.0
Install-Module PSJira (if you have Package Management Installed Module)
and for sure, an Atlassian Jira instance

First-Run

`1`	`Set-JiraConfigServer -Server 'https://my.jira.server.com:port'`

Setup jira credentials in `.ps1`

Encrypt credentials (Once)

Do this with the Windows session of the user who will launch the .ps1 scripts (service account)

Powershell on zoph.me
