Documenting with PowerShell: Autotask Stack Documentation

This blog is based on Gavin Stones amazing work on gavsto.com. Gavin is a good friend of mine and he helps out our community a lot. As before I worked with his glance cards within IT-Glue that make documentation prettier.

When he showed me how he used the Glance cards to create a stack overview I loved the idea and figured I would make the same for Autotask users, unfortunately I haven’t been able to stick a lot of time into this as other stuff is taking priority. I figured I would share the rough draft and have the community create it into something even better. 🙂

All you have to do for this version is to fill out the services list variable with the name of the services inside of your Autotask PSA. It will then create a glance card to show if its active or not. To show how this could look in your PSA I’ve included a screenshot, with some contract names blocked out:

The script

So like I said, it’s a little bit rough on the edges and I haven’t had time to perfect it. Feel free to change it to your own needs of course. Our internal version focusses more on different contract types, services, etc so I cannot share that. 🙂

Automating with PowerShell: making stolen tokens useless with Global Secure Access

Last week I watched Merill Fernando talk to Alex Pavlovsky and Marilee Tuscak from the Entra team about something I’d kinda put under the “needs a GSA licence” branch and i’d check it out later, turns out that like most people, I half-assed the documentation and it turns out it doesn’t. There’s two features that come with any P1 license; Compliant network check and Source IP Restoration. So BP, P1, or even frontline worker licenses already have this.

CIPP ❤️ #IntuneForMSPs

We’re Joining #IntuneForMSPs 🎉

Being invited by Microsoft to join a global initiative is a big moment for us, and we want to be clear about why it matters. #IntuneForMSPs is Microsoft’s program to help MSPs deliver Microsoft 365, Intune, and Copilot services at scale, and CIPP is now part of it, bringing the largest MSP community in the channel directly to Microsoft.

The return of CyberDrain CTF

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)
