    April 14th, 2022 in Blog, Power BI, PowerShell, Uncategorized

    In this blog post I will be sharing a PowerShell script that allows multiple Power BI reports to be downloaded at once. In the Power BI service, there is no way of downloading multiple Power BI reports at once. Therefore, users must download files one by one which is slow, time consuming and inefficient.

  • Using Hyper-V and PowerShell to Create the Perfect Developer Workstation

    May 23rd, 2016 in Blog, Hyper-V, PowerShell, Purple Frog Systems, SQL Server

    So the second challenge I faced after unboxing and plugging in my new workstation at Purple Frog Systems was software. Having customers using all versions of SQL Server from 2005 onwards I didn’t want to tie myself to a particular version locally and I also didn’t want the hassle of running lots of different SQL Server services all on the same host operating system.
