script is doing. 
  
Please let me know what you think of the script. 
  
I am working on a bug fix version.  It is out for testing now.  The current 
script doesn’t handle offline XA servers so when it does the get-service stuff 
the script will time out and give you an ugly red on black PoSH error but will 
continue on.  The updated script will handle offline or unreachable servers

a script.

I had a tech support guy, in his first batch file, put in the following line.  
I had a laugh trying to explain it to him.

Echo Press < Enter > for the batch file to continue.

He just didn't get it for a long time.

Do not deprecate your skills with PowerShell. You have to start

In addition, you are obviously filling a very needed hole in the
