Saw this on the Twitter thread, super cool! @thedavecarroll to you point about it being a lot of code... yes, but you can make it so that only the unique stuff is inside the switch statement and everything else is outside and only specified once.

Yeah that's a really good point. Mine was very hurriedly put together by copying and pasting from blog posts. Yours is already much more succinct!

In fact there may not even be a need to assign a valid to $attributes.ParameterSetName, since in Dave's cmdlet the parameter was available all the time. Even less code!

Thanks guys.

Definitely something to look into over the next few days.
