Run your first script

Open an elevated PowerShell session, navigate to the cloned repository, and run a script for your platform.Active Directory — user report:
.\ActiveDirectory\Get-ADUserReport.ps1 -SearchBase "OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"
VMware — VM inventory report:
.\VMWare\PowerCLI\Get-VMInventory.ps1 -VCenterServer "vcenter.domain.com"
Exchange Online — mailbox size report:
.\Exchange\Get-MailboxSizeReport.ps1 -ExportPath "C:\Reports"
Replace the parameter values with those appropriate for your environment.
Always test scripts in a non-production or lab environment first. These scripts interact with live infrastructure — validate behavior before running against production systems.
