A quick and useful PowerShell one-liner to return information about your AD environment is:

PowerShell, don’t you? 
This is HILARIOUS! 
I’ve got error when installing SCVMM 2012 RC, terribly sorry I didn’t print screen the error, but the same error explanation just like this link :

The above link is happening with SCVMM 2008 R2 SP1

and once again, the above link is happening with SCVMM 2012 Beta, now is happening to me, arrghh 
Renaming the hostname is pretty easy, but because this is my lab environment and I put all the roles & services together including AD CS roles! 
Maybe you guys already know that SCVMM 2012 RC already available for download, if not, you can download it here 
.
Well, the other good news is Self-Service Portal already include in the installation media 
.
Off we go, begin installation, will get back to you guys soon! 
Active Directory Sites and Services doesn’t provide this, it doesn’t have an export option, so I come to think in mind if there’s no GUI provide, it can by using PowerShell 
.
So here is the script, just copy paste to text editor and save it using .ps1 extension.
$siteName = "Default-First-Site-Name"
$configNCDN = (Get-ADRootDSE).ConfigurationNamingContext
$siteContainerDN = ("CN=Sites," + $configNCDN)
$siteDN = "CN=" + $siteName + "," + $siteContainerDN
$siteObj = Get-ADObject -Identity $siteDN -properties "siteObjectBL", "description", "location"
foreach ($subnetDN in $siteObj.siteObjectBL) {
Get-ADObject -Identity $subnetDN -properties "siteObject", "description", "location"
}
