Usage Guidelines

Before Running Scripts:

1. Read the script and understand what it does
2. Test in a non-production environment first
3. Customize variables for your environment
4. Ensure you have appropriate permissions
5. Review security implications

Best Practices:

• Always maintain backups before making changes
• Use version control for customized scripts
• Document any modifications you make
• Review logs and output after execution
• Keep scripts updated with your environment

Security Considerations:

• Never hardcode credentials in scripts
• Use secure credential storage (Windows Credential Manager, SSH keys, etc.)
• Limit script permissions to minimum required
• Review scripts for security vulnerabilities
• Audit script execution and changes
