This document discusses how PowerShell can be used to automate and streamline many common tasks in Configuration Manager such as creating boundaries, collections, deploying applications, and managing software updates. It provides examples of how much time can be saved for tasks such as creating 200 boundaries (40 minutes saved), collections with membership rules (20 minutes saved), and deploying secondary site servers (60 minutes saved per server). The key benefits outlined are that it is easy to automate daily CM tasks with just a few lines of PowerShell code and that this can save thousands of minutes over manual methods.
