PowerShell Magic

I love PowerShell, use it for all kinds of things, big stuff and small stuff. As a note if you too love PowerShell check out the following book:

http://www.amazon.com/Automating-SharePoint-2010-Windows-PowerShell/dp/0470939206/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319752024&sr=8-1

Fantastic for all those SharePoint commands you just wondered how to use, kudos out to Gary and Shannon, it is my PowerShell bible :-)

On that note just used a nifty piece of PowerShell to set the "CallStack='True'" and "CustomErrors='Off'" on a site I was testing so thought I would send it your way:

​$wc = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\{site}\web.config"
$d = new-object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$d.Load($wc)
$d.get_DocumentElement()."sharepoint".safemode.callstack = "True"
$d.get_DocumentElement()."system.web".customErrors.mode = "Off"
$d.Save($wc)

Works like a treat and save a bunch of time when I had to set it on six sites. Maybe this is useful. :-)​
