The next tool in the list is to keep a large enviornment in Sync. The problem is that over time arrays have been added, and different people have set them up. the autosupport settings on no two arrays are the same, and the notifications of things like drive failures are going to the wrong people. The fastest way to solve this problem was to take an array that is operating perfectly, and sending to the correct people, and to replicate those settings to each array in the farm. This script does just that. If you run the script with a Working Array, and a Target Array, it will tell you what changes need to be made on the target array to bring it into compliance. If you run Verbose Mode, it will give you all settings and highlight the differences. If you run the command with an Execute option, it will tell you the differences then fix the Target Array for you automatically.
The command can be run in the following three ways
PowerShell Prompt > AutoSupportChecker.ps1
PowerShell Prompt > AutoSupportChecker.ps1 "Verbose"
PowerShell Prompt > AutoSupportChecker.ps1 "Execute"
Shown below is the default mode in which it only highlights the differences.
Sample Output of Default Mode.
