$MajorVersion = ($CurrentVersion.Split(".")) $NodeToRead = $CentralConfig.SelectSingleNode($XPath) # Load central xml file (for backup and reading the current version number) $CentralXmlFile = 'P:\Centrally Managed Files\config.xml', $PersonalXmlFile = (Join-Path $env:appdata "Quest Software\PowerGUI\config.xml"), To update your central config: just make the modifications within PowerGUI and then run this function. It even saves a backup copy of your central config file in case you mess up 😉 It assumes you use a simple x.y version number, so please start out with 2.0 when setting up your config. All without having to edit the complex xml file manually. The following function increments the version number for you and even allows you to store the new file to the central location at the same time. Whenever you want to update the central configuration xml file, you need to increment the version number in order to push this change out to your colleagues. Additionally, PowerPacks – script templates that the PowerGUI community has designed – can be inserted to speed up script building and eliminate the need to build scripts from scratch.If you are using PowerGUI (which you should) and some of your colleagues do too, you might want to use a central configuration. A GUI is not complete without customization, though, so PowerGUI comes equipped with customization functions so users can form the application to suit their needs. PowerGUI also features an integrated development environment (IDE) for PowerShell which includes such tools as intellisense and a debugger.
This exclusive feature of PowerGUI makes it easy to script with just using the mouse – all the script-building tools are right in the interface itself. At the heart of PowerGUI beats the Point, Click, Script function, which allows administrators to manipulate PowerShell’s features via a simple graphical user interface (GUI), hence its name, bypassing the need to have extensive scripting knowledge and making it much easier for users who wish to harness the power of PowerShell. PowerGUI is a free utility that network and IT administrators can use to accelerate Windows PowerShell adoption in a corporate environment and even use PowerShell to perform much more efficiently than it would otherwise with the built-in tools in Windows.
