Build a PowerShell Module from Scratch

Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

To start the lab, you will refactor a PowerShell script into modular functions for disk space checks, service management, and log archiving, enhancing reusability and flexibility.

You'll create a PowerShell script module from the functions built in the previous challenge.

This challenge guides you through effectively managing the SystemMaintenance PowerShell module you just made, from reviewing how to import, and verifying its presence in your session to understanding basic module management practices, ensuring your custom functions are always ready for use.

For better module management and distribution, you will now create a detailed .psd1 module manifest for the SystemMaintenance PowerShell module, detailing metadata like name, author, and version, and specifying exported functionalities.

Create Pester tests for your module, ensuring reliable functions.
