+      .SYNOPSIS
+      This will install multiple software items using the chocolatey if defined, with rate limiting when run with Hosts parameter
+      .DESCRIPTION
+      For installing packages using chocolatey. If you're running against more than 10, include the Hosts parameter to limit the speed. If running on more than 30 agents at a time make sure you also change the script timeout setting.
+      .PARAMETER Mode
+      3 options: install, uninstall, or upgrade (default).
+      .PARAMETER Hosts
+      Use this to specify the number of computer(s) you're running the command on. This will dynamically introduce waits to try and minimize the chance of hitting rate limits (20/min) on the chocolatey.org site: Hosts 20
+      .PARAMETER PackagesNames
+      Use this to specify which software to install eg: -PackagesNames googlechrome,firefox,7zip
+      .EXAMPLE
+      -Hosts 20 -PackagesNames googlechrome
+      .EXAMPLE
+      -Hosts 20 -PackagesNames googlechrome,firefox,7zip
+      .EXAMPLE
+      -Mode upgrade -Hosts 50
+      .EXAMPLE
+      -Mode uninstall -PackagesNames googlechrome
+      .EXAMPLE
+      -Mode uninstall -PackagesNames googlechrome,firefox,7zip
