        Been almost 2 years since this was "NOTED". Lets make this happen guys and gals! This would definitely be helpful. I learned so much with the Exchange console, ADAC, MDT, etc. when they do that. Anything to help automate more processes!

        This would be great. I thought a few years ago all the 'back office' products were going to do this. For those things I find myself doing more often I could just copy the script, customize it a little and have a new tool.

        Agreed this would be a brilliant feature, but I'm assuming it's a little harder to implement in SCCM as unlike, for example, the Exchange Management Console, the ConfigMgr Console is not actually using PowerShell and WinRM in the background - it still relies on WMI to the SMS Provider.

        It would be really helpful if the admin console could display the Powershell equivalent of actions executed in the console similar to the way Exchange does. Example: Lets say you created a new device collection using the wizard and instead of just showing a success or failure message on the completion tab, the Powershell command to create the same collection is also shown (New-CMDeviceCollection....). Implementing this would reach every console user and they could see a direct correlation between their actions and Powershell. It would be an easy way for admins who are not Powershell experts to start learning and using it.

        Definitely would be a welcome addition. Loved old Exchange Management Console for that as well as MDT. Additionally, if there could just be a history like in ADAC, that would also be helpful to see none wizard driven commands. Please do this.
