Hi @David-Knapp, thanks for the submission. This script can be simplified to two lines:

$accounts = 'localsystem', 'NT AUTHORITY\LocalService', 'NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService', ''
Get-Service | Where-Object UserName -NotIn $accounts | Select-Object UserName, Name, DisplayName

However, I don't think there is enough here for a blog post. Is this a script that you have used to solve a problem? If you could add more context, it might be a more useful post.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for the email. How are you? Happy new year.

That particular snippet is from a larger overall Pester describe block that is used to validate desired state after updating or performing maintenance on a stack.

I thought providing the Pester code might be too much, so I chopped it down and modified it to see how the pr went.

@David-Knapp We could use some Pester content. Especially if you explain the context of why and how to use it.

Think about how you would teach someone to create their first Pester test. I would welcome a post like that.

Ok.

Cool.

Let me see what I can do. Feel free to kick it back with any changes, etc …. I would love to contribute to the code base and am just feeling out how to do it best.

I agree. The more folks that use Pester, the more folks whose jobs became that much easier … and systems are more reliable too of course.
