<#
    .SYNOPSIS
    This script will create a series of SMS TSEnvironment variables with the prefix WUMU_ExcludeKB to tell ZTIWindowsUpdate to skip these updates.

    .DESCRIPTION
    This is an adaptation of a script provided by "The Deployment Guys" to exclude updates that cause multiple restarts as document in Microsoft KB2894518.

    What's (primarily) different in this script:
    
    1) Added logic to fallback to a list of known updates that cause this issue if we can't connect to the Microsoft KB.

<#  
    .SYNOPSIS
    Create a CSV file containing a list of ACEs (access control entries) for all file paths at and under the root path specified.

    .DESCRIPTION
    This script will pull a list of all directory at and under the root path specified.
    In a parallel process it will pull the ACL for each directory and list out each ACE that is not inherited, the ACEs in the root ACL will be listed as is inherited or not.
    
    This script uses the NTFSSecurity module (http://ntfssecurity.codeplex.com/) to work around long path issues via an embeded AlphaFS .NET class.  Please ensure this module in in the PSModulePath. As an added benefity this class appears to be faster at enumerating directories as well.

Function Import-Excel { 
    <# 
        .Synopsis 
            Converts an Excel document into an array of objects with the columns as separate properties. 
        .Example 
            Import-Excel -Path .\Example.xlsx 
            This example would import the data stored in the Example.xlsx spreadsheet. 
        .Description 
            The Import-Excel cmdlet converts an Excel document into an array of objects whose property names are determined by the column headers and whose values are determined by the column data. 
            Additionally, you can specify whether this particular Excel file has any headers at all, in which case the objects will be given the property names based on their column. Likewise, if the document has headers, but one column does not, its data will be assigned a Column# property name.
