Happy Independence Day -- Using PowerShell for Reporting
Unfortunately, my Independence day is not free – I am working. Just so happens I need to report on when computer objects are getting migrated to a new AD forest. Day 1 4 Day 2 30 Day 3 25 etc.
Now I could have taken the data and imported it into SQL and then busted out some awesome queries in no time flat. But my buddy Craig Martin, keeps insisting how awesome this PowerShell stuff is. So I decided to give it a try, plus if I can get it to work then it will be faster to run this repeatedly from PowerShell rather than needing to import it into SQL Server. I am actually a big believer in using the right tool for the job. Otherwise you end up blaming the tool for failing you when you should have picked a different tool, one better suited for your task.
