Interactive CMD Troubleshooter

Our support staff frequently provided cmdlets with placeholders for customers to replace with their own data. We discovered that customers often left these placeholders unchanged, which caused issues. To address this, we made the process interactive, allowing customers to customize it to their environment more easily.
