This may be complicated, but is actually very second nature once you get the hang of it. Hey Shane,

Thanks for the tips! I'd not seen the free powershell book, but I have it now. Maybe I'll take it over to a kinkos (or something similar) to have as reading material for the trip to Austin next week.
