How can you use prompt engineering to debug PowerShell?
summary
Uses Azure OpenAI Studio and the gpt-4-32k model to debug real PowerShell snippets: finds a typo that prevents a users loop, explains using userPrincipalName instead of an object for mailbox commands, and identifies identical calendar events by comparing iCalUID comparison values. Demonstrates generated Mac PowerShell commands listing root folders, builds a for‑each loop that counts to 10, and shows making REST requests to Azure OpenAI from PowerShell; examples are pasted, corrected, and executed successfully.
