There's a lot of advice online about using MS PowerShell to leverage the ConfigManager classes for interogating the internal BDD data structures, but I'm having difficulty finding much by way of actual scripting examples.  In general I'd like to be able to query the XML tables for some simple reporting on the way we've configured the system to run (models vs. applications, drivers, roles, etc).

Has anyone heard of an online repository of PowerShell scripts, or else some other way to pull these details into a concise printed document?  Screen shots are nice but there's a limit to what you can display all at once.  At my company we're now supporting several dozen unique models and we have plans to incorporate another 20 or so this quarter, not to mention an additional complement of 18 role-specific application/suites for these alone.

I'm only aware of the example scripts for importing drivers and reporting on drivers and driver groups within BDD/MDT.

PowerTab is a useful tool if you want to start building your own scripts as it helps to uncover the methods and properties available within a class.

There is an SDK for SCCM 2007 but I think that is still in Beta and not generally available.
