Now a word from our new sponsor, PowerWF.
Version 2.0 of PowerWF Studio has just been released. PowerWF is a Visual PowerShell development tool allowing users to build PowerShell scripts as workflows, which are similar to a flowchart or Visio diagram. Once created, workflows can be deployed as applications, run as a scheduled task, or back to PowerShell as a script. You can even push data to System Center with the click of a button. To get your free 30 day trial go to PowerWF.com.
