We offer two things:
1. Hundreds of automation script samples based on IT Pros' frequently asked IT tasks
2. Script Browser & Script Analyzer tools to ease and improve the script writing
Today marks the General Availability of Windows Server 2012, a special day in what will be a big launch year for Microsoft and our customers and partners worldwide.
Compared with Windows Server 2008/R2 that provides about 230 cmdlets, Windows Server 2012 beats that by a factor of over 10 shipping ~ 2,430 cmdlets. You can automate almost every aspect of the server. The new PowerShell 3.0, like Windows Server 2012, has a ton of new features. In this automation script-centric move, Microsoft All-In-One Script Framework (AIOSF) is ready to support IT Pros with many new services and offerings coming this year. We sincerely hope that the IT community will benefit from the effort.
Here is the first one among our new services and offerings:
The team is preparing a large set of Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012 script samples based on frequently asked IT tasks that we collect in TechNet forums and support calls to Microsoft. Because the script topics come from frequently asked IT tasks, we hope that these script samples can be helpful to many IT Pros worldwide. With the General Availability of Windows Server 2012, we release the first three Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8 script samples today.
Get Network Adapter Properties in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 (PowerShell)
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Network-Adapter-37c5a913
Description: This script could be used to get network adapter properties and advanced properties in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8. It combines the outputs of Get-NetAdapter and Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty. It can generate a report of network adapter configuration settings. Use Scenarios: In a real world, IT Administrators are required to check the configuration of network adapters after the deployment of new servers. One typical example is the duplex setting of network adapters. Also, IT administrators need to maintain a server list which contains network adapter configuration settings in a regular basis. Before Windows Server 2012, IT administrators often feel difficulties to handle these tasks. Acknowledgement: Thanks Greg Gu from AIOSF for collecting this script topic, and writing the script sample. Thanks James Adams (Microsoft Premier Field Engineer) for reviewing the script sample and ensuring its quality.

This is just the beginning, and more and more script samples are coming. You can follow our blog (http://blogs.technet.com/b/onescript) to get the latest customer-driven script samples for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
Microsoft All-In-One Script Framework is an on-going effort in which the Microsoft team writes PowerShell/VBS/T-SQL script samples for IT Pros based on their feedback. The feedback is collected by the team from Microsoft's TechNet forums, Microsoft’s phone support incidents, as well as other social media and communities based on frequently asked IT tasks. If an IT task is, for example, asked in more than two TechNet forum threads, the team will consider the task as a potential script topic, and providing a script sample to demonstrate how to ease the task with automation scripts.
Since the Microsoft All-In-One Script Framework was launched in August, the team has collected over 350 script topics. More than 50 of these script ideas have been turned into the actual script samples published on TechNet Script Repository. In order to better prioritize the script topics and hear more from customers, All-In-One Script Framework launches the “You vote it; We write it” program today in partnership with TechNet Script Repository. In this program, the team is going to publicly post the collected script topics. The IT community can vote for these script topics. The higher the topic is voted, the higher priority will the team offer to write and publish the script sample.
Every week, the team will post a batch of script topics for the IT community to vote. You can follow it by subscribing to the "YouVoteWeWrite” RSS feed or visiting this page. You simply vote for your beloved or wanted script topics. The All-In-One Script Framework team will write the script sample for you, free of charge.
Here is the first batch of script topics for you to vote!

SPProfileDump
Download: SPProfileDump.zip Details: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/SPProfileDump-77f87a72
Description: This script enumerates through the user profile manager for a given site collection and would extract information about all profiles from the profile store. User Scenarios: In SharePoint, we come across issues with profiles not being consistently updated with property values after an import operation. There could be numerous reasons for this; albeit a change in the import connection or the inability to reach and fetch information from a designated Directory server. Besides, the Central Admin UI doesn’t present a holistic view of all user profiles; neither is there an easier way to navigate through hundreds of profiles within the UI. SPProfileDump would extract all profile information to a comma delimited (SPProfileDump.CSV) file. Additionally, it would also create a SPProfileProperties.TXT file that would contain the very basics of each profile property. You can open the SPProfileDump.CSV file in a tool like Excel and use filtering to view data the way you want. For example, find how many profiles have come through a specific OU or per say, how many users do not have a valid PictureURL.
