Thank you for using Dynamics Communities.

I do not believe that this is feasible through Powershell as there is a limited amount of commandlets available:

C# seems like a more likely possibility as the following blog show examples of, but would require knowledge of how to utilize the Dynamics SDK to accomplish the tasks you mentioned.

That being stated, your request is more along the lines of consulting which would require quite a detailed response if it is found feasible. I will leave this thread for others to reply in case they have further insight.

Thank you,
