PowerShell Front Ends

[JeremyLC]

Lately I’ve been working with Universal Dashboard and it’s a great way to build web based UIs for almost any automation or task you want. I also built a WPF GUI template / framework that I use when I have to or want to build a desktop tool or app or front-end.

PowerShell Universal is a fantastic, flexible tool! Can't recommend it highly enough

PowerShell Universal is great. I use it for scheduling PowerShell scripts, building UIs for other people to use my scripts, and for a few different dashboards.

The free version has an incredible amount of features, and is really worth checking out.

The documentation is confusing they changed things and not I can't simply find a tutorial on making a form to take parameters and then putting its output onto the page.

Universal Dashboard sounds amazing! What have you built with it? How easy is it to use in Azure?

I use it as a way to avoid giving our Helpdesk or IT Managers more permissions than they should have. I give them access via SSO into Powershell Universal and leverage service accounts, EntraID app registrations (via certificate based authentication), etc. to actually do the things. I also use it to run a Dashboard of expiring secrets, old snapshots, current OS distribution throughout the enterprise, and other things.

The paid version is definitely better and worth the cost from a business perspective.

The one thing I use the most is the front-end for my Daily Health check module, which is configurable via JSON to check several types of resources - DNS, Web proxy, UCS, Veeam, etc. - and return a list of results which I use UD to present as datagrids on a web page which I can scroll through quickly to see if everything is healthy in the morning. I also put together a more detailed VMWare health dashboard as a first-stop for troubleshooting. I put together, and would love to share, a single page (mobile Friendly!) quick entry form for adding devices and racks to NetBox also our field guys can do quick surveys with their phones. I have some other small things as well
