These too are pretty good. It’s
using the PowerGUI tool (my favorite tool to date), but still good.

Download and use PowerGUI as
your editor, it’s free http://powergui.org/index.jspa

If you are still using VBScript
this is a very good tool. Also free to use but the paying for it turns on all
the features.

If you are converting from VBS to PSH then take a look at:
