| |
| [http://www.peetersonline.nl/index.php/about/ Hugo Peeters] started with posting so called oneliners to indicate how powerful the VI-Toolkit on Powershell is. After a while this got picked up by others as sort of a sport to see if you can do it in one line. Below is a collection of links with oneliners from great powershell scripters. These pages now contains links to oneliners from [http://www.peetersonline.nl/index.php/about/ Hugo Peeters], [http://www.virtu-al.net Alan Renouf], [http://get-admin.com get-admin.com] and [http://ict-freak.nl Arne Fokkema]
