No excuse now...

After a particularly uninspiring and pretty awful week at work, there was one nugget of tech goodness that I uncovered this afternoon: Powershell is now available for deployment via WSUS! I'd already built a deployment script using VB that did the pre-req checks etc but I'd delayed using it in the hope that it would appear on my WSUS boxes. It did earlier this week (it's classed under Feature Packs), so early next week I plan to do a couple of test deployments and then release it to PCs in my department. The really good thing is that I can now start putting some of my dev scripts (each time I put a new VBS script into production I produce the equivalent PowerShell script) into use live environment.
If PowerShell appearing as an update on my WSUS boxes was the highlight, you kind of appreciate how bad the last working week was....
