PS C:\> copilot-win32-x64 -p "List my Power Automate environments" Power Automate from the Terminal GitHub Copilot CLI + Microsoft's Power Platform plugin What if you could create, debug and manage Power Automate flows by typing plain English into a terminal? Microsoft now publishes a Power Platform plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI that does exactly that. I set it up end to end and wrote a runbook, so you don't have to hit the same walls I did. The runbook covers installing everything, the three errors that will almost certainly trip you up, the prompts that actually work, and how to build flows your Copilot Studio agents can call. It was verified on Windows 11 Pro (26200) with PowerShell 7.6.5 and Node v20.2.0. What you can do with it Discover : list environments and flows, find the flows that failed in the last 24 hours, and get an inventory report of every flow and its owner. Create : describe a flow in a sentence ("runs weekdays at 9am, reads...

You pointed it at a domain, and a few minutes later you had Visio diagrams of your sites, replication and domains. It was brilliant, but it stopped in 2011. ADTD only understands Windows Server up to 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010. It needs .NET 2.0, draws only in old versions of Visio, and knows nothing about Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). So I built a modern replacement: ADTD Modern . It's free on GitHub, and this post walks through what it does and how to use it. What ADTD Modern does In one run, ADTD Modern: Draws your Active Directory in draw.io (desktop or web, both free): sites, subnets and site links, replication connections, domains and trusts, FSMO roles, application partitions, OUs and GPO links, DFS Replication and Exchange. Visio output is still there if you want it. Understands current versions : Windows Server up...
