Server 2012 management.

I am interested in what others are doing to automate management of server 2012. Specifically, I am looking at automated scripts.  What are some best practices or scripts everyone is running.  I have some already such as dusk checker and remove temp files.

Thanks for the feed back. I am using a tool called Pulseway to monitor the OS level. It allows me to check the task and scripts completion.  So I have the "top level" tool to see all systems.

To be clear, I wasn't criticizing the use of scripts. I have powershell scripts, DSC blocks, and orchestrator runbooks in quite a few places. But they are almost all hand-crafted for the job at hand, and all are "managed" by other systems. DSC plays well with puppet. PowerShell scripts are integrated with SCCM and SCOM. runbooks are in Orchestrator and OMS. I know I.T. folks that prefer ruby or perl and have integrated with splunk, etc. But their scripts are highly customized too. There really isn't a "just run these and you'll be fine" answer. Even with codeplex and So.liar resources', there are just too many "unique" variables and scripts by themselves usually don't cut it.
