Version 3.10.0 [03/27/2024]
- Added the ability to configure Microsoft Edge Extensions using ExtensionSettings. Function: Configure-EdgeExtensions. This enables Edge Extensions to be installed and managed like applications, enabling extensions to be pushed to specific devices or users alongside existing GPO/Intune extension policies. This should not be used in conjunction with Edge Management Service which leverages the same registry key to configure Edge extensions.
- Added the ability to copy the Toolkit folder and files to a cache folder on the local machine and execute from there.
- Functions: Copy-ContentToCache and Remove-ContentFromCache. The cache path can be configured in the config.xml file, default is $envProgramData\SoftwareCache. When Copy-ContentToCache is used, $dirFiles is updated to point to the local cache path.
- Added the ability to copy files to all user profiles.
- Functions: Copy-FileToUserProfiles and Remove-FileFromUserProfiles
- Changed Copy-File to use Robocopy by default, overcoming the 260-character limitation of native PowerShell Copy-Item and providing more comprehensive file copy functionality and logging. This can be toggled off in the config.xml file by setting Toolkit_UseRobocopy = $false
- Added Log File Rotation
- Added VSCode workspace with default settings for PowerShell code formatting, default version (Windows PowerShell) and PSScriptAnalyzer linting.
- Added ability to position progress dialogs to 'TopLeft', 'Top', 'TopRight', 'TopCenter', 'BottomLeft', 'Bottom', 'BottomRight'
