Microsoft Script Center – Powershell Script Archive for Techs

Microsoft Powershell is the weapon of choice for many IT Professionals. With a little bit of code knowledge, technicians can automate regular tasks or do something entirely new.

While you can spend a few hours creating a script to solve your technical woes, chances are someone has already written it before you.

This is where the Microsoft Script Center comes in. It’s a large repository of Powershell scripts submitted by contributors who have probably already solved your problem.

It currently has over 15,400 scripts written mostly in Powershell and VB script. You can search by keywords, operating system as well as by category like Office 365 or Active Directory.

Some of the scripts that the forum members found interesting were:

• Get Remote Program List
• Take Screenshot
• Turn Off Screen
• Get Remote Program List
• Reset Windows Update

The resource itself has been around for almost a decade, but many technicians either hadn’t heard of it before or are only now just getting into powershell. It’s a great resource which will save you a ton of time.

Special thanks to our forum member Barcelona for the recommendation.
