Windows Tools

Applications

  • Chocolatey - Windows command line installer leveraging NuGet. Kind of a meta-application.
  • Windows PowerTools - If you like to party like it's 1995, this is for you. Sign of the times that you had to purchase a CD of these back in the day, and now they're in GitHub.
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (Installation Instructions) - A full, honest-to-god Ubuntu linux kernel and shell, but it works completely and (relatively) seamlessly with Windows. I'm extremely impressed, I have to say. N.B. - Unless you're on a version of Windows that no one in State government is on yet, you'll have to do the semi-manual/command line installation and not the Windows Store version of your chosen flavor of Linux. (I said Ubuntu before, but you have several options.)
  • Using WSL to Build a Python Development Environment on Windows - Great article from Practical Business Python at the intersection of two of my favorite things on Windows.

Command Line - cmd and Powershell

  • set - "Display, set, or remove CMD environment variables. Changes made with SET will remain only for the duration of the current CMD session." Useful for seeing system environment variables.
  • Get-ADUser - Powershell command to get an Active Directory user. Requires Active Directory module, which you can download here.
  • Get-ADComputer - Powershell command to get an Active Directory Computer. Same requirements as Get-ADUser.

Office Tools and Integrations

Excel Add-Ins

  • [Excel Add-Ins for Team Foundation Server]
  • Excel Insights - cloud intelligence functions inside Excel. Compatible with our instance of Office 365.
