Microsoft announced plans to retire the company's TechNet Gallery last week. TechNet Gallery was a community-powered website that allowed members to share scripts, tools, and guides for use with Microsoft products and services.

Microsoft revealed that TechNet Gallery hosts over 25,000 contributions from community members and MVPs currently, and that all of these contributions will be deleted.
The company set the entire TechNet Gallery site to read-only mode recently and plans to redirect the entire site to the Microsoft Docs Samples Browser page.

Microsoft recommends that owners of resources that are hosted on the TechNet Gallery website should migrate these "to a GitHub project if it is a tool, script, or utility". For technical documentations and guides, Microsoft suggests to "re-host it on a website" so that people who find it useful may contact the owner of the document.

Closing Words
Microsoft's purge attempts continue. We have linked to the TechNet Gallery several times throughout the years and it is sad to see such a resource go without backup. It is possible that the Internet Archive will pick up the scripts before Microsoft pulls the plug in June 2020. A quick check shows several popular downloads, many with over 100,000 downloads on the site.
