I agree completely. PowerShell is great for automation in SCCM 2012. It's great for doing repetitive tasks and ensuring that they are done consistently.
There are some things though that you will just have to use the GUI for, like editing task sequences.

No, there are some things you cannot do with PowerShell, such as edit task sequences. You can do a lot with WMI, but if you are going to use the native cmdlets make sure you are on 2012 R2 CU2. They have made a lot of updates to the cmdlets, and continue to. For an idea of any existing issues check out Connect. There are a lot of requests out there. https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/Feedback Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2014 1:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Config Manager 2012R2 and Powershell Hi all: Question. I know that SCCM 2012R2 can be administered through Powershell. Has anyone tried this fulltime, AKA used Powershell to admin SCCM completely in place of the SCCM console? If so, any good guides on how to do this? Any pitfalls, AKA areas Powershell just doesn't cover? Thanks.
