+      Please review the settings, please tweak the rules file (or modify the default rule set here)
+
+      You need to run this in an elevated PowerShell!
+
+      I use this during the bootstrap process of Windows systems.
+      Most of the settings here is also enforced by some of our Group Policies and we also have a lot of it configured via MDM CSPs (InTune).
+
+      This script is only a quick hack to harden (and secure) any new system, even if it is not managed afterwords.

+
+### Process Mitigation and Exploit Protection
+
+Microsoft provides a XML file (`ProcessMitigation.xml`) that provides a configuration best practice to mitigate the attack surface and provide Exploit Protection.
+
+You can provide your own File, otherwise (if missing) we will download the latest version from Microsoft.
+
+More Info: [https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/Page/EP](https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/Page/EP)
+
+### WindowsDefenderSandbox
+
+We tuen on Windows Defender Sandbox
+
+### AttackSurfaceReduction
+
+Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) is comprised of a number of rules, each of which target specific behaviors that are typically used by malware and malicious apps to infect machines, such as:
+
+- Executable files and scripts used in Office apps or web mail that attempt to download or run files
+- Scripts that are obfuscated or otherwise suspicious
+- Behaviors that apps undertake that are not usually initiated during normal day-to-day work
+
+More Info: [https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/Page/ASR](https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/Page/ASR)
+
+### ReloadRegistry
+
+We then reload the registry to ensure that the new configuration is activated
+
+### EnableFirewall
+
+Enable the Windows Firewall for all Profiles - Set the default to block everything
+
+We enable the Windows Firewall for the following Network-Profiles:
+
+- Domain
+- Public
+- Private
+
+We block all inbound connections by default and we log all block-events!
+
+### UpdateSignature
+
+As a final touch: We update the Windows Defender signatures.
+
+## Why this?
+
+I use this during the bootstrap process of Windows systems.
+Most of the settings here is also enforced by some of our Group Policies and we also have a lot of it configured via MDM CSPs (InTune).
+
+This script is only a quick hack to harden (and secure) any new system, even if it is not managed afterwords.
+
+## Content
+
+There are two files:
+
+### Bootstrap-MicrosoftDefenderConfiguration.ps1
+
+The PowerShell Script itself
+
+### Bootstrap-MicrosoftDefenderConfiguration.csv
+
+A CSV File that contains the configuration of the attack surface reduction rules.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Please review the `Bootstrap-MicrosoftDefenderConfiguration.csv` where you configure the attack surface reduction rules. Please also review the `Bootstrap-MicrosoftDefenderConfiguration.ps1` file. There is no configuration file, at least not yet!

+   .SYNOPSIS
+   Quick an dirty Windows Service Monitor
+
+   .DESCRIPTION
+   I came across the the problem, that one of the services I depend one was not started after the system reboots.
+   That happens after a .NET update. So I decided to create this real simple monitor to make sure, that this service is running.
+   If not, the script tries to restart it.
+
+   .PARAMETER MonService
+   The Service we would like to check. Default is RoyalServer
+
+   .EXAMPLE
+   PS C:\> .\Check-ServiceMonitor.ps1
+
+   .EXAMPLE
+   PS C:\> .\Check-ServiceMonitor.ps1 -MonService 'myservice'
+
+   .NOTES
+   The script itself have some basic error handling,
+   nothing to complex or fancy.

+	Enable DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) if device is not domain-joined
+
+	.DESCRIPTION
+	Enable DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) if device is not domain-joined
+
+	It enables the Cloudflare DNS Servers, even if DoH is not working yet.
+
+	IPv6 Support is optional.
+
+	.PARAMETER IPv6
+	Enable IPv6 Support, IPv6 Servers will be added to the serverlist
+

+
+	.EXAMPLE
+	PS C:\> .\Enable-DNSOverHTTPS.ps1 -IPv6
+
+	Enable DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) if device is not domain-joined for IPv4 and IPv6
+
+	.NOTES
+	Only the Insider Build of Windows 10 supports DoH!
+	But we configure it anyway!
+
+	The Cloudflare servers are used for regular DNS resolution and as soon as DoH is supported,
+	we can configure and use it anyway.
+
+	A future version of this script might support additional parameters, like DohFlags
+
+	You can also change the servers below to any service you like, e.g. Google DNS or Quad9 from IBM.
+
+	The Bool as return was requested by a customer, and the exit code (0 or 1) is implemented for our bootstrap setup

+{
+   <#
+         .SYNOPSIS
+         Check if one or more given modules are installed.
+
+         .DESCRIPTION
+         Check if one or more given modules are installed.
+         Any missing modules can be installed (optional) and updated to the latest version available on the PowerShell Gallery can be applied (optional).
+
+         .PARAMETER Module
+         One or more modules to check, update, install.
+
+         .PARAMETER Install
+         Install any missing modules from the PowerShell Gallery?
+
+         .PARAMETER Update
+         Updated to the latest PowerShell Gallery Version of the module, if available?
+
+         .PARAMETER Scope
+         Specifies the installation scope of the module.
+         The acceptable values for this parameter are: AllUsers and CurrentUser.
+         The default is CurrentUser.
+
+         The AllUsers scope lets modules be installed in a location that is accessible to all users of the computer,
+         that is, %systemdrive%:\ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules. Elevated Shell required!
+
+         The CurrentUser scope lets modules be installed only to $home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules,
+         so that the module is available only to the current user.
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Invoke-CheckPowerShellModules -Module 'MSOnline', 'azuread', 'AzureADPreview', 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell', 'MicrosoftTeams', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell', 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', 'credentialmanager' -Install
+
+         Check if all the Office 365 related PowerShell Modules are installed.
+         This will not install anything missing; it just runs a check!
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Invoke-CheckPowerShellModules -Module 'MSOnline', 'azuread', 'AzureADPreview', 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell', 'MicrosoftTeams', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell', 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', 'credentialmanager' -Install
+
+         Install all the Office 365 related PowerShell Modules if anything is missing.
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Invoke-CheckPowerShellModules -Module 'MSOnline', 'azuread', 'AzureADPreview', 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell', 'MicrosoftTeams', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell', 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', 'credentialmanager' -Scope AllUsers
+
+         Install all the Office 365 related PowerShell Modules if anything is missing (system wide).
+         This required to runn in an elevated Shell!!!
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Invoke-CheckPowerShellModules -Module  'MSOnline', 'azuread', 'AzureADPreview', 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell', 'MicrosoftTeams', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell', 'Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell', 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', 'credentialmanager' -Update
+
+         Install all the Office 365 related PowerShell Modules if missing, automatically updates the latest version (if there is any update available)
+
+         .NOTES
+         For now, only the PowerShell Gallery is supported as Repository!
+         The next version might bring the check for an elevated shell if the scope is set to 'AllUsers'.

+      .SYNOPSIS
+      Update CloudFlare DNS A Record if needed
+
+      .DESCRIPTION
+      Update CloudFlare DNS A Record if needed
+
+      The prevent to much API calls, we use a regular DNS query first.
+      Only if this query spot a difference, we ensure if an update is needed by ask the Cloudflare API for the latest published info.
+      If there is stiff a difference, the cmdlet will update the entry for you.
+
+      If you use a new/unknown hostname in the CF_HOSTNAME parameter, the cmdlet will create a new entry for the given host!
+
+      .PARAMETER CF_TOKEN
+      CloudFlare API Token
+
+      Hint: You can find your API key at: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
+
+      Create a dedicated Token just for this cmdlet and give it a name that indicate the purpose of it
+
+      The Token needs a least the following permission: Zone.Zone, Zone.DNS
+      The token needs access to at least the Zone you want to update (Resources), or use 'All zones'
+
+      .PARAMETER CF_DOMAIN
+      The CloudFlare DNS zone you want to modify
+
+      Example: contoso.com (this is also the default)
+
+      .PARAMETER CF_HOSTNAME
+      This is the A record you'd like to update or add
+
+      Example: homelab (this is also the default)
+
+      Please Note: We support A Records only at this time!
+
+      .PARAMETER DNSServer
+      Resolves hostname using DNS instead of checking CloudFlare.
+      It is recommended to use the CloudFlare DNS Servers, e.g. 1.1.1.1
+      You can use any other server, but mind that you might not see the changed IP until the Cache TTL expired on this Server!
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '<TOKEN>' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab'
+
+      Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com'
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '<TOKEN>' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab' -Verbose
+
+      Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com', but run in verbose mode
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '<TOKEN>' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab' -DNSServer 1.0.0.1
+
+      Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com', uses the backup CloudFlare DNS to get the published info
+
+      .LINK
+      https://1.1.1.1/dns/
+
+      .NOTES
+      We use a regular (cheap) DNS call to reduce the number of calls to CloudFlare (they allow 200 reqs/minute but why ask an API first?)
+
+      There is no output by the cmdlet, makes it easier if run a a service or schedules task. use the -Verbose switch to see what the cmdlet is doing
+
+      Please Note: We support A Records only at this time! We are already testing IPv6 (AAAA) and a few others.

+      .DESCRIPTION
+      Add Defender Antivirus Exclusions for the Teams Desktop Client for a given User
+
+      .PARAMETER Username
+      Username to apply the exclusion to.
+      Please Note: The user 'john.doe' in the domain 'CONTOSO' will have the username 'john.doe.CONTOSO'. This is the case to have the connect Directory (Windows naming convention).
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      PS C:\> .\Optimize-MicrosoftDefenderExclusionsForMicrosoftTeams.ps1 -Username 'john.doe.CONTOSO'
+
+      Apply the Defender Antivirus Exclusions for the user 'john.doe' in the domain 'CONTOSO'.
+      In this case, the $env:USERPROFILE Directory will be 'C:\Users\john.doe.CONTOSO'
+
+      .NOTES
+      This is a more flexible version of Add-DefenderExclusionsForMicrosoftteams.ps1 that brings username as a parameter.
+      I crerated this because my user does NOT have Admin permissions on my local windows boxes and with this version, I can apply it with my admin account, biut for my regular user (or any other user on the local system)
+
+      Do not just use set-mppreference here, this might remove any existing exclusions.
+      Might be the right thing to do, but with add-mppreference you append to the list (if exists).

+         .SYNOPSIS
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of file or path
+
+         .DESCRIPTION
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of file or path
+
+         .PARAMETER Path
+         Single File or Path you want to unclutter. (Mandatory)
+
+         .PARAMETER Recurse
+         Recurse through all subdirectories of the path provided. The default is not work recursively (Optional)
+
+         .PARAMETER noNewLine
+         No new (blank) line at the end of a file.
+
+         .PARAMETER SafeFilesOnly
+         Only safe files were processed. This is the default! This will prevent any issues with Binary Files or any other non safe to process files. If you like to process all files (can be dangerous) just negate this by using -SafeFilesOnly:$false
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Remove-FileEndingBlankLines -Path 'C:\Temp\Export-DistributionGroup2Cloud.ps1'
+
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of 'C:\Temp\Export-DistributionGroup2Cloud.ps1'
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Remove-FileEndingBlankLines -Path 'C:\Temp\Export-DistributionGroup2Cloud.ps1'
+
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of 'C:\Temp\Export-DistributionGroup2Cloud.ps1' without ending a final blank line at the end.
+         NOTE: Set-Content adds a final blank line by default. this switch prevents this!
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Remove-FileEndingBlankLines -Path 'C:\Temp' -Recurse
+
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of files found in 'C:\Temp' and below (recursively).
+
+         .EXAMPLE
+         PS C:\> Remove-FileEndingBlankLines -Path 'C:\Temp' -Recurse -SafeFilesOnly:$false
+
+         Strip white space/blank lines from end of all files found in 'C:\Temp' and below (recursively).
+         This might be risky and/or even dangerous! If you process any binary files, they might be corrupt afterwards.
+
+         .NOTES
+         I created this helper function to unclutter the file ends and white space/blank lines from files during my build process.
+
+         I prefer the way that Set-Content handles it: Add a single blank line at the end of each file. This is use to the fact, that I concatenate several files during a build process.
+
+         I also added a switch (noNewLine) to prevent this.
+
+         By default only PowerShell and Markdown Files are processed by this function

+{
+   <#
+      .SYNOPSIS
+      Tests port on a given computer.
+
+      .DESCRIPTION
+      Tests port on computer. This functions supports both: TCP and UPD
+
+      .PARAMETER computer
+      Name of server to test the port connection on.
+
+      .PARAMETER port
+      Port to test
+
+      .PARAMETER tcp
+      Use tcp port
+
+      .PARAMETER udp
+      Use udp port
+
+      .PARAMETER UDPTimeOut
+      Sets a timeout for UDP port query. (In milliseconds, Default is 1000)
+
+      .PARAMETER TCPTimeOut
+      Sets a timeout for TCP port query. (In milliseconds, Default is 1000)
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      Test-Port -computer 'server' -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on server 'server' to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      'server' | Test-Port -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on server 'server' to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      Test-Port -computer @("server1","server2") -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on server1 and server2 to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      Test-Port -computer dc1 -port 17 -udp -UDPtimeout 10000
+
+      Server   : dc1
+      Port     : 17
+      TypePort : UDP
+      Open     : True
+      Notes    : "My spelling is Wobbly.  It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters
+      get in the wrong places." A. A. Milne (1882-1958)
+
+      Description
+      -----------
+      Queries port 17 (qotd) on the UDP port and returns whether port is open or not
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      @("server1","server2") | Test-Port -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on server1 and server2 to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      (Get-Content hosts.txt) | Test-Port -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on servers in host file to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      Test-Port -computer (Get-Content hosts.txt) -port 80
+      Checks port 80 on servers in host file to see if it is listening
+
+      .EXAMPLE
+      Test-Port -computer (Get-Content hosts.txt) -port @(1..59)
+      Checks a range of ports from 1-59 on all servers in the hosts.txt file
+
+      .NOTES
+      For TCP tests, you might want to use Test-NetConnection
+      But Test-NetConnection is unable to test UDP Ports

+   Getting, install, or update DSC Resources I want to have.
+   It could be used to install every Module from the Gallery.

+   VERBOSE: Populating RepositorySourceLocation property for module PSDscResources.
+   VERBOSE: Try to update PSDscResources
+   VERBOSE: Updated PSDscResources
+
+   .NOTES
+   Small script I created for myself.
+   I have to prepare DSC systems from time to time, and I want to have the same set of DSC resources on all of them.
+   Mainly because I'm lazy, but I'm an old-school Unix guy: Never type something more than two times: AUTOMATE.
+
+   I install the resources system wide!
+   That is why we have the Elevated Shell requirement (#Requires -RunAsAdministrator).
+   If you want to use it just for the current user, change the Scope in $paramInstallModule from 'AllUsers' to 'CurrentUser'.

+<#
+   .SYNOPSIS
+   PowerShell Module maintenance
+
+   .DESCRIPTION
+   Quick and dirty script that removes all older versions of all installed PowerShell Modules.
+
+   .EXAMPLE
+   PS C:\> .\invoke-ModuleMaint.ps1
+
+   # Removes all old versions for all installed PowerShell Modules.
+
+   .NOTES
+   Why:
+   I do an automated update of my Modules, this process just updates straight to the latest and
+   greatest version of each installed module. I ended up with a bunch of older version for most
+   Modules, and I needed something to clean this up.
+
+   I found several stuff that does the same thing, but they all use "Get-InstalledModule" and the
+   performance of this command is terrible! I have to use "Uninstall-Module" that is slow enough,
+   so I needed something that runs faster on my system, where I have a lot of Modules installed.
+
+   Please note:
+   This will try to remove all older versions of all installed powerShell versions.
+   There might be issues with newer versions, so be aware of that.
+   There is no check, just a simple removal off all older versions.
