A new post and a new addition to the naming convention series . With this post I want to share my approach to naming Azure Management groups .

What are Management groups and theirs limits

If you are wondering about reasons for this approach to naming please have a look at the Naming convention background chapter of the The perfect azure naming convention . With that out of the way lets dig in.

In my previous post I went trough my experiences with using the basic Winget commands. And mentioned that anyone who needs more control over the installation options will quickly note that when Winget uses the default installation options when installing packages. In this post I would like to share with you how I managed to solve this and get the control I need during the installation process.

Winget Advanced installation, the override command

The winget install documentation shows that an --override option is available, with an input “A string that will be passed directly to the installer”. Simply said it should allow to override the default installation options with custom ones, similar to the way a regular installer GUI allows to the user to change settings during the installation process. A.k.a. a custom installation and exactly what I need!

During my summer holiday I had a one day break from sunny weather so I decided to use the family tablet to fiddle with some PowerShell. As expected only the standard software was installed on the tablet. I could either start installing everything I need manually or use this opportunity dig a bit into winget . I hope you will enjoy both the basics and the advanced configuration experience shared via this post.
