Configure ConfigMgr Pre-Reqs with Powershell

Something you have to get right, and getting it right first time if preferrable, when installing your SCCM Site Servers is to configure IIS, BITS and WebDav Publishing.
This simple Powershell script takes care of these pre-requisite configurations: (You can also create a package and deploy as part of a standalone media set if you want to fully automate your build)

Script body follows: (copy following text into notepad and saveas .ps1)
