Thanks for this mate,

I talked about this during my session on Exchange 2007 deployment and pointed people to your blog. Thanks for the script - and the REM'd comments make it crystal clear to the Powershell newbies...

I'm struck by how self-documenting this script itself is. Even if you didn't have any comments, I could figure out what this does.

I have a couple of comments/suggestions:

1) A number of your parameters have quotes (single or double) that don't need them. They are benign but not necessary.

2) My guess is that you can directly pipe your import-csv into to the other command. If too many things are binding then you might want to put a select in between them:

import-csv UnpluggedSG.csv |Select Server,Name | new-storagegroup

Cheers!
