• various powershell scripts to manage

  • Microsoft Identity manager (FIM & MIM)

  • Technet Wiki
• sql scripts
• Word templates
• XLS templates and tools

How to Use PowerShell to create a TN Wiki catalog page

While the Microsoft Technet Forums have become the base for a very vibrant community, it’s not really THE platform to build, share and maintain documentation.

The Technet Wiki fans know that the TNWiki is a very interesting platform that perfectly complements the Technet Forums for that purpose.

Most of the people publishing on the Technet Wiki like to get an overview of their articles, once in a while.
Although the Wiki offers nice features, it’s very hard to get a concise, quick overview of your articles.

One of the tricks to achieve this, is using a personal tag. (eg. pgtag 😉
But as you can see, its not a condensed view.

Therefore I created a powershell script that does it for you.

Just take a look at this page: How to Use PowerShell to create a Wiki catalog page (feel free to copy the code and use offline for customization)
