A utility library for SharePoint 2010 administration where I place common useful functions.

Usage:

#Import the Administration library
. .\Administration.ps1

#Perform action, example:
Banner "Check-Replicate-changes.ps1" "Production" "2011-05-09" "1.0" "Verifies replicate changes permissions"
Check-ReplicateChanges("MYDOMAIN\SPSPROFILE")
Pause

v1

Check-ReplicateChanges($userName)
Checks to see if an account has Replicate Changes rights in AD.
Important tool used to verify setup for profile sync service accounts.
NOTE! Does not work for checking domain administrator accounts.
