PowerShell Scriptomatic - Scriptomatic Goodness with a PowerShell Flavor

Microsoft Downloads - Windows PowerShell Scriptomatic

"A new utility that writes Windows PowerShell scripts that harness the power of WMI (Windows Instrumentation Management) for use in system management and administration. This tool was created by Microsoft consultant and author Ed Wilson."

The original Scriptomatic helped me a number of times as I got up to speed with WMI via VB. I'm hoping lighting will strike twice with this utility...

The utility is a v1, so expect some rough edges, but if you're trying to learn PowerShell and how use it with WMI, this this utility may come in real handy.

One note, the PS1 files is generates when you click "Run" are not signed. So if your execution policy is locked down, the generated script may not work...
(So you may think about "Set_ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" if you want to "Run" allot... but remember there's a risk in doing that...)
