Story
I was sitting in a conference room on the Microsoft campus in mid-March 2007 for the 2007 Microsoft MVP Summit listening to the Microsoft DS Dev folks discuss the new features in Longhorn and Nathan Muggli challenged me in front of the rest of the DS MVPs present to produce a command line tool to manage the PSO objects in time for the 2007 Directory Experts Conference about five weeks later. Here it is the evening of April 15th (Tax Day in the USA) and my taxes are done and apparently so is V01.00.00 of PSOMgr - a full week before DEC 2007 starts. :)
Download
You do not have to supply the email address. I would like you to fill that in though so that I have an idea on how popular a tool really is. If I see 1000 downloads with 900 different email addresses I know it is more widespread than one that has 1000 downloads and 200 different email addresses because the same person needed to keep downloading it for some reason.
