[@MrRealIndian]

Thank you very much John. Coming from a Unix/Linux background and having not much user for Powershell in the past, your videos have been a great help.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Great to hear!

[@spiritmorin]

Very useful. I just use this yesterday in Detection method in SCCM and Intune. But the verbose thing, that's bring me to the next level. Thank @John .

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it helped!

[@amit_kala]

One word "Fantabulous" thank you for knowledge sharing, very few does what you're doing.. thank you again.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very kind, thanks 🤙

[@iamdedlok]

You are a champion John Savill, Thank You. I was exactly looking for this stuff yesterday. Coming from C# background, the try-catch behaves differently in Powershell! Thanks for unravelling it! woohoo ! Brain cells++

[@NTFAQGuy]

Awesome

[@cma9br]

How simple is that! I've always wanted to deal with errors. Thanks a lot.

[@NTFAQGuy]

No problem!

[@marciobarbato]

Wow, top content ! I wish I knew this before struggling with some basic concepts :D

[@TomWhi]

Brilliant, thank you John. I’ll be sharing this video and example scripts with my team!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks

[@rmontesdeoca]

Outstanding explanation (as usual)

[@Jaynext2]

Useful video about debug and verbose. I will try to use it in my code. Thanks John 😃👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you liked it, thanks!

Love the content, John.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks

[@ec0321]

Very useful John. Thank you!

[@alexpetrenko5952]

Hi, it was interesting! However, you did not mention how to get that full error code that you used in 'catch'. Or did I missed that?

[@NTFAQGuy]

It’s in the sample file linked in description if I’m following.

[@TheBondkartik]

Thanks for Azure Master Class brother. Actually found someone online who wants to impart knowledge with fun and not hook people

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very kind, thank you.

[@robertleist771]

How about how to catch errors in a try block for commands being executed in a PowerShell remote session?

[@maherriyadh5647]

Hi, i wonder in minute 15:03, in the switch statement there is $number, and in the statement there is $_ . Why didn't you use the variable number instead of $_ ?

[@NTFAQGuy]

preference. Code would work if I changed the variable in switch etc.

[@nitti3723]

Why is the Cmdlet binding needed? Btw love your videos, you present things so well!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Bunch of things including letting you leverage verbose etc parameters

[@romanferguson4032]

man the debug and verbose are so cool

[@NTFAQGuy]

💯

[@darryvakki9807]

[@shanebagel]

John Savill is a bloody legend

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol thank you 🤙

[@dwelfusius]

i love this! Thank you

[@michaellerch]

I didn't know that visual studio code had a Light Mode :)

[@NTFAQGuy]

lol. i don't use it normally :-D

[@michaellerch]

@@NTFAQGuy Thanks I finished watching the video and it was really helpful! I've done a little with Try / Catch, but the error stuff I didn't even know about. Thanks again!

[@NTFAQGuy]

@@michaellerch Glad it was useful!

[@jgrote]

Powershell VS Code Extension has an "ISE Mode" that makes it look like the old Powershell ISE editor to help ease users of that into vscode. This theme mirrors the look of that app.

[@michaellerch]

@@jgrote I heard about that. I was just playing with Visual Studio Code and was trying to figure that out. I'm sure it's a google search away, but I like to stumble around so I know where everything's at and what it does.

[@ravilobo7977]

PowerShell is music. This is like listening to the maestro.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Hehe, thank you

[@luizzurobski4462]

[@schillaci5590]

Oh my god he's gone and put the open curley bracket on the wrong line!

[@NTFAQGuy]

lol, ahhh that universal debate :-)

[@David-wh7rm]

@7:22 I've found $($_.Exception.Message) gives better results for me, when using in a write-debug. Great overview though!

[@NTFAQGuy]

3 lines up I grab that in a variable but at this point I wanted to show writing out the whole exception :-)

[@David-wh7rm]

@@NTFAQGuy understood and completely fair enough, I didn't put it in a variable so just thought I'd mention, but I know what you mean 👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

@@David-wh7rm All good and agree like the message :-)
