As of late, there are a couple of Store apps which just won’t install on any of my Windows 10 machines (One Commander and Open Live Writer in case you are interested).
The message shown is:
The error code is 0x80073CF9, in case you need it.
If you do a search on the error number you’ll find numerous posts and articles explaining on how this error might be solved. As it happens, the error also occurs on Windows Phone/Mobile systems.

All of the sites are hosted within Azure App Services and the sources are located on either GitHub or BitBucket. By having the source code located on a public accessible repository (be it private or public), it’s rather easy to connect Azure to these locations.
On my day-job I come across a lot of web- and desktop applications which also need continuous integration and deployment steps in order for them to go live.

However, most NPM packages have quite a bit of dependencies to other packages. All of these dependencies get pulled towards your system also. Still not a big problem as you want a working solution.
The problem arises when you are on a Windows environment, there are a lot of dependencies and you want to delete a project folder on your system.

Because these accounts are meant for services, we don’t want them to inherit the default password policy for renewing their passwords every X days. Lucky for us, you can configure this via PowerShell. A short how-to is written on MSDN.
The thing that isn’t written (or referenced) over there is how to run the MSOL cmdlets.

When you want to manage a single resource, such as storage accounts, websites, databases, virtual machines, and media services, you need the (default) Azure module. However, when you need to manage resource groups, you will need the AzureResourceManager module.
This is useful information if you want to deploy new Azure websites with a specific hosting plan, like Basic or Standard.

Most of the stuff for managing your Azure subscription is implemented in these Azure cmdlets. One of the things which isn’t implemented (yet) is managing the Service Busses in your subscription.

Engineer Mark Fugatt heeft de link beschikbaar gesteld.

Aangezien de links op MS websites vaak veranderen heb ik de download ook maar op m’n eigen webspace gezet. Daar weet ik tenminste zeker dat het er op blijft staan (mits de server niet weer crashed).
Wat ik uit het boek kon halen is dat de nieuwe Powershell enorm gaaf is.
