script that returns info about a user's outlook profile, specifically if they are configured to use a CAS hub or a hostname... error handling and logging are super cheaply done (I'm not proud of it)

This is a local (or remote) querier of machines to check for critical and error events in the system event log. If found, it will send errors in a decently/readably formatted email to a given address.
