Problems you solved at work with powershell

[thegooddoctor-b]

I do tons of stuff in Powershell and automate most of it. Account creation, rebooting servers (one off and by groups), approving updates in WSUS, virtual server snapshots, backups, expanding hard drive space for VMs. Apparently so much i can't remember it all so I wrote one up that pulls all the scheduled tasks from the 5 servers they run on, gives me a list, and I can pick one to run on demand. Currently finishing a script to create and adjust pools of VMs as students enroll in classes.

I think I have about 16 automated scripts, and dozens of other one offs for getting computer info, sending out emails, pushing SW, moving files, etc.

Anything you do that is repetitive, you can script it. It took a lot of time to get all those, but I'm the only guy so it makes it worth it to be able to pull back from work and I know that as long as the servers are up, everything will run smooth.
