Win Server 2012 – Nice View Script Button

I played around with Win Server 2012 over the beta period but nothing serious. Now that it is in Release Candidate mode I made the decision to ramp up a new set of development servers.   There is a little poking around to be had with the new UI but all in all I was able to bring up an instance quickly and promote the server to a Domain Controller.   Check out this nice little button I found on the DC Promo wizard:

Clicking the view script button will open a text file with the associated PowerShell command.  That is practically context-sensitive help.

I know dumping the script is not rocket science but that is a nice little bonus for all of us who use PowerShell to manage our servers. What do you think about that?
