100 count restrictions in PowerShell and PowerCLI

Notice your output shows only 100 lines? Here is the reason…

When Microsoft codes for such things, like accessing Azure Portal with PowerShell, they tend to leave off options, like the count restriction for output. I’ve noticed it in such common commands as Get-AZVM. Nevermind the “-Identity” case sensitivity!?!? (You can’t run ‘-identity’ – MEH!)

Now why do ya think this may be so, there, now, yet? It could just simply be they ain’t got around to it, but I suspect it’s a tad more then that. It’s far more likely it’s a squeaky wheel scenario; No squeak, no fix, don’t-cha-know. Like what happened with Windows 2003 Server. We all wanted that to stick around, but NOOOOO, not enough people yelled, so here we are, multiple versions later, suffering through migration project after migration project.

Hey, at least Microsoft condescended to extended OS support in the Cloud for 2008, right? That we liked. 🙂 MORE of that PLEASE. 🙂

So, if you find a code problem, P L E A S E go talk it up in sites like this one: Azure PS Helps on Github.com. Maybe you’ll get satisfaction, maybe not. But, if enough of us ask…

…just sayin’
