• How to Find Inactive (Stale) User Accounts
  Inactive accounts can soak up a lot of paid-for but unused product licenses. With increases for Microsoft 365 licenses due to come into effect from 1 July 2026, it’s time to find and remove unused licenses from inactive user accounts. We discuss two approaches by using the Microsoft 365 Licensing Report or a PowerShell script that assesses inactivity based on sign-in dates and refresh token baselines.

• PowerShell: Designed for a Messy World by Jeffrey Snover
  Corporate dysfunction is a fact of life. We see it in: siloed teams, keynote-driven projects that are abandoned after announcement, promotion-focused developers delivering checkbox features and ignoring admin needs. I tried to fix those problems but knew that I would fail, so I also designed PowerShell to route around the damage.
• Designing modular code - part 1 - Tobias Weltner
  In this session, Tobias introduces the idea that PowerShell users should think more about specifications, reusable building blocks, and how AI can help with code that is already in use. He describes the talk as a discussion for experienced PowerShell users and says he wants to show where AI can be useful, especially as requirements and tools change.

• Cookie Monster Has Entered the Teams Chat with Miriam Wiesner
  Recorded live at PSConfEU 2026, Andrew sits down with returning guest Miriam Wiesner, Senior Security Researcher at Microsoft, for a wide-ranging conversation on PowerShell security, cookie-based attacks, and the evolving threat landscape. Miriam walks through her two conference talks — one on Microsoft Teams session cookie hijacking (a follow-up to her 2025 Entra ID cookie talk, complete with Cookie Monster branding and actual handcuffs), and a joint session with Stéphane van Gulick on using Microsoft Defender's Live Response feature for incident investigation. The conversation also covers the current state of PowerShell security, why sophisticated attackers are moving away from PowerShell, and why defenders who haven't enabled script block logging and AMSI are leaving easy wins on the table. On top of the technical deep dive, Miriam and Andrew get into the human side of the conference community — nerves before presenting, imposter syndrome, and why showing up is already half the battle.
