Somewhat quick and dirty, but I’m sure it’ll be of use to anyone doing a larger scale rollout of distribution points.
The following script can interactively roll out distribution points for you, saving a huge amount of clicking around in the SCCM console. The code can easily be adapted to run everything from functions and bulk import a list of distribution points from CSV to SCCM.
#Add distribution point with State Migration and Pulse Rate limitation and scheduling

#notice: you must have the required console updates for some of these commands to work with SCCM 2012 SP1
####GENERAL CONFIGURATION####
#If you clear any config, the script will prompt you for it, config simply helps you simplify deployments if for example, you only have one site
#Path to your PSD files
Import-Module “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager.psd1″
#Your site code
$site_code = “EU1″
#Name of your distribution point (Fully Qualified Name required!)
$server_name = “”
#Drive letter for your primary content library, use Automatic if you wish SCCM to manage this for you
$driveletter_plibrary = “”
#Drive letter for your primary content share, use Automatic if you wish SCCM to manage this for you
$driveletter_pshare = “”
#If you wish to add a state migration point to the DP, set this to $true
$add_statemigrationpoint = $false
#Path to data on the state migration point
$state_migrationpoint_localpath = “”
#Distribution Point Group Membership can be configured with this variable
$distributionpointgroup = “”
####END OF GENERAL CONFIGURATION####
####SCHEDULING CONFIGURATION####
#Set to False if you do not wish to configure transfer schedules for your DP ($false recommended)
$add_schedule = $true
#size of each block sent, leave at 0 to prompt, only used when add_schedule=$true
$block_size = 0
#delay between each block sent, leave at 0 to prompt, only used when add_schedule=$true
$block_delay = 0
#Array containing 24 elements, one for each hour of the day. This property specifies the type of usage for each hour.
# 1 means all Priorities, 2 means all but low, 3 is high only, 4 means none
#this example allows only high priority sendings from monday till friday between 8AM and 8PM and everything outside that timeframe
