Cheesy Christmas Tree Script

Below is the code:

$colors = "cyan","Green","Yellow","Red","magenta","white"

Clear-Host

Write-Host

while($true)
{
    $oldpos = $host.ui.RawUI.CursorPosition
    Write-Host "        *" -ForegroundColor ($colors | get-random)

    # Row One
    Write-Host "       *" -ForegroundColor ($colors | get-random) -nonewline
    Write-Host "*"        -ForegroundColor DarkGreen              -nonewline
    Write-Host "*"        -ForegroundColor ($colors | get-random)

    # Stump
    Write-Host "       ***       " -fore DarkGreen
    Write-Host "       ***       " -fore DarkGreen

    $host.ui.RawUI.CursorPosition = $oldpos
    sleep .40
}

IN Progress: AD replication test script

Almost done with my new and improved AD replication script. If you are interested in giving it a shot drop me a line via the contact form or just leave a comment.

NOTE: It does make a canary change in AD. It sets the value of wWWHomePage on the Users container to a datetime stamp.
