Shavlik Bulliten ID to QNumbers

Recently I have started to help with our monthly patching at our organization. Being a healthcare facility we have a few applications in which we are only allowed to deploy specific patches to those servers. To help speed up the process of preparing patch groups and patch scans within Savlik Protect, I have created a PowerShell Script to take a list of Bulletin IDs (MS15-001) and export a list of associated QNumbers which can then be used to import into shavlik when creating a patch scans. I hope to create a future script to allow bulk updating of an existing patch group with a list of known patches.
