    .synopsis
        Shows which build configurations are supported for which projects in a
        Visual Studio solution file (.sln).

    .description
        With a large Visual Studio solution that has more than just the default
        build configurations it's easy for them to get out of step. This script
        analyses a .sln file and shows you which build configurations are
        available for which projects so that you can find inconsistencies.

    .parameter SolutionFile
        The Visual Studio solution file (.sln) to analyse.
#>
Param(
    [Parameter(Position=0,Mandatory=1)]
    [string] $SolutionFile
)

Set-StrictMode -Version Latest
$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop'

if (!(Test-Path $SolutionFile))
{
    throw ("Invalid path: {0}" -f $SolutionFile)
}

$itemFolder = '{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}'

$projectRegex = 'Project\("(?<Type>[^"]+)"\) = "(?<Name>[^"]+)", "(?<File>[^"]+)", "(?<Guid>[^"]+)"'
$configRegex = '\s+(?<guid>{[^}]+})\.(?<config>.+)\.Build\.0 = (?<config2>.+)'

$projectNames = @{}
$buildConfigurations = @{}

foreach ($line in Get-Content $SolutionFile)
{
    if ( ($line -match $projectRegex) -and ($matches.Type -ne $itemFolder) )
    {
        if (!$projectNames.ContainsKey($matches.Guid))
        {
            $projectNames[$matches.Guid] = $matches.Name
        }
    }

    if ($line -match $configRegex)
    {
        if (!$buildConfigurations.ContainsKey($matches.Guid))
        {
            $buildConfigurations[$matches.Guid] = @()
        }

        $buildConfigurations[$matches.Guid] += $matches.Config
    }
}

foreach ($project in ($projectNames.GetEnumerator() | Sort Value))
{
    $configs = ($buildConfigurations[$project.Key] | Sort) -join ', '
    Write-Output ('{0}: {1}' -f $project.Value, $configs)
}

This script shows which build configurations are supported for which projects in a Visual Studio solution file (.sln). It's intended to help highlight where build configurations might be out of line when you have multiple custom configurations.

Here is a very simple example of the output:
