PowerShell+ 2019 - "Piping" data between packaged scripts by Paul DeArment Jr

The idea for this talk came when working on a project for a previous employer. Working on multiple domains, different executables needed to be run for different domains due to requirements by the security team. I was having trouble passing data between the exe's due to being unable to directly send data from one exe to the other. While researching how to fix this, I started looking into using named pipes to move data from one executable to the other. Taking the data, converting it to an object, then converting the object to base64 string it is possible to move data from one packaged script to the other without having to use temporary files. While not always of use, during those times when multiple executables have to be used, this method and code can make life simpler. PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
