Many users have requested to be able to run day to day powershell commandlets and scripts from a DOS batch file. For convenience, they requested that all code is embedded in the same batch file, thus easing portability and avoiding loosing or damaging dependent files. Moreover, such a tool would allow avoiding the slow response of the GUI when performing the same operations.

This updated version adds an option to "Suspend or Resume Virtual Standby Exports" and has a better "Suspend or Resume Replication" routine. Powershell 3.0 or later and AppAssure 5.4.x are required.
