Windows Restore Point
PowerShell script to silently create a System Restore Point of the system drive.
Overview
Dev Insight: As of Windows 8, the default settings will not allow the creation of more than one system restore point in 24 hours. This script works around this limitation by temporarily modifying this setting.
This script can be used to automate the creation of System Restore Points on client machines, or to create a one-off checkpoint before applying changes to a machine.
Prerequisites: This script has no prerequisites.
