title: Generate Machine Key using Power shell
body: <p>I am trying to generate machine key to share between a few machine, after a quick google search i found this <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915218#AppendixA" rel="noreferrer">article KB 2915218, Appendix A </a>.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I copied the code and save as .ps1 extension which i believe is power shell extension. </li>
  <li>Open power shell</li>
  <li>Move to the location of the file </li>
  <li>run the script. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>PS E: ./Generate-MachineKey -validation sha1</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It runs fine but it doesn't output the keys. Any reason why? Am i doing something wrong in Powershell?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
