(Updated Dec 28th, 2011) I'm gathering all the System Center-related PowerShell scripts I use from System Center Central (and a few from elsewhere) so I could have a convenient reference point. Here's the first round, but there's a lot more to be added. Here are the categories I started with. As you can see, I added a catch-all miscellaneous for non-System Center related stuff, which I'll keep to a minimum I think. I'll see if I can get a easy-to-remember URL added to redirect to this page.
