Powershell Script to export VMs with dynamic parameters
<#
.SYNOPSIS
The Function Export-MyVM extends the standard cmdlet Export-VM with dynamic parameters.

The Script makes the search for the VMs and the Export-Destination-Drive dynamic.
You can simply tab through the two mandatory parameters to get (a) all VMs on the Hyper-V-Host and (b) all connected drives.
Frankly, the main purpose was to learn dynamic parameters.

Powershell Script to install and configure a standalone RootCA for Lab-Environments
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Script to install and configure a standalone RootCA for Lab-Environments
.DESCRIPTION
This Script sets up a standalone RootCA. It's main purpose is to save time when building Labs in the classes I teach.
###It's not meant for production!###
First, it creates a CAPolicy.inf file. Then it deletes all default CDP and AIA and configures new ones.
It turns on auditing and copys (It's a Lab!!!, so obviously no real offline RootCA...) the crt and crl to an edge webserver.
