Here is a technote that might help with some of what you want:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21433016
It contains a sample "as-is" Powershell script that you can
modify to meet your specific needs.
Please keep in mind the current best practices that are
shown in the User's Guide.
Thanks,
