GlobalFunctions module updated to 2.0

The PowerShell module GlobalFunctions got updated to Version 2.0. This module is used by some of my PowerShell scripts which utilize centralized logging. 

The new release contains the first functions required for some upcoming scripts for managing onboarding process for joiners and the off-boarding process for leavers for companies utilizing Office 365.

Changes

• File encoding switch from UTF8 to Unicode
• New functions
  • Format-SpecialCharactersUpperCase
  • New-RandomPassword

Notes

The New-RandomPassword function is based on Simon Wahlin’s script published here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Generate-a-random-and-5c879ed5
