The ConfigMgr PowerShell cmdlets are cool and all. But they're slow. And they require the ConfigurationManager module. And a user session. Too much!
Be like a PowerShell ninja, sneak past the ConfigurationManager module, enter and leave the SMS Site without leaving a footprint and still get what you want faster than I can spell my own name!
We'll look at connecting to the SMS Provider, not through WMI, but CIM. I'll tell you why and show you the differences. And we'll talk about lazy properties and dynamic methods. Which are not always that CIMple!
You will walk away with new and better methods to script your custom solutions. You will see you won't even have to rewrite most of your scripts and still make them faster and more lightweight.
