As James pointed out recently the AD Web Service from Windows 2008 R2 has been released for Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 - see http://blogs.msdn.com/adpowershell/archive/2009/06/23/use-active-directory-powershell-to-manage-windows-2003-2008-dcs.aspx for details.

Read a file and create a graph of the results. The quickest way to graph the data is to take the height and display a number of “*” depending on the value. 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 cls Get-content "High Jump Stats_Adv4.txt" | foreach { $data = $_ -split "," Write-Host "Jumper: $($data[1]) $($data[0]) last $($data.count – 3) jumps" […]
