Using PowerShell to Set DFS Override Referral Ordering - UPDATED

Quite a nice update to the script originally posted here. Nice features of this script are that it handles timeouts. And I rather like the Columnize function. No more commentary, now for the script!

  1. Hey,

    would there be a reason i get no matches each time i try set the 1st and Last servers part on this script?
    I'm trying to use it to set a 1st an last for two servers in the same site that have an equal costing.
