Hello,
First, I wanted to say you did a wonderful job with the 3.0 release!
Another (very minor) feature request from me... Most of the time (in my case anyway) you execute PSPKI commands from the CA server itself but still you always have to pass to (almost) every command an instance of the CA that you have to previously retrieve through either the machine name or the CA name.
I ended creating a small helper function that retrieve the CA object for the local server and thought it might be useful to others as well.
Even better than a helper function that gets the local instance (which would still be useful in some cases), it would be good that all cmdlets that expect a CertificationAuthority object as input consider no value as the local CA (and throw an exception if the local machine is not a CA of course).

Comments: Just to add: Connect-CertificationAuthority without parameters attempts to search for local ADCS instance and fails if ADCS is not installed on the running computer. Doesn't this fit your requirement?
