    All,

    Just wondering if anyone has started using Windows PowerShell and if so what they think of it.

    Suddosedly you can pretty much use it to automate any part of windows so as always it sounds fantastic but Ive no idea what the learning Curve is like.

    As a complete NON programmer I wonder how difficult it would be to learn.

    Any ideas?

    4 year bump ! Is anybody here using PowerShell, I've started playing with it recently and am really enjoying it.

    Hi,

    Absolutely, I use it daily for VMware administration but also for windows tasks that are just too tedious or long to complete by hand.

    Just started using it, takes awhile to get all the modules and providers. Better if you have a 64 bit version for managing things like exchange. here's the modules I have added

    Quest Active Roles ( much better than built in module for AD)
    Exchange management shell
    SCVMM module
    Treat management gateway module
    Terminal services module
    Remote server administration pack
    Also the sysinternals suite

    You need to create a gpo to enable WinRM and create a http listener on all the clients and servers you manage that way you can get remote powershell sessions and or use the invoke-command cmdlet

    To me it's simply the best shell in existence today, scary powerful.

    There's a huge amount of websites dedicated to teaching the uses for administrators and scripting can't wait for v3 this year. You where on the ball creating this thread 5 years ago I didn't even know about it until windows 7
