Power Shell.. möh!?

Greetings Sven,

Spend enough time performing routine system administration tasks and one word pops to mind: automation. For that, that I have two words for you: Windows PowerShell.

Windows PowerShell, as you might have learned, is the new shell scripting interface built on the Microsoft .NET framework that enables IT Pros and .NET developers to control and automate the administration of Windows and applications. It uses a new admin-focused scripting language and features more than 130 standard command-line tools.
Today, you can download Windows PowerShell 1.0 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003, and the English language version of Windows PowerShell RC2 for Windows Vista RC1 and Windows Server "Longhorn."

If you haven't checked out the PowerShell scripting interface or you are new to scripting, do yourself a favor and download the Getting Started Guide and Quick Reference sheet. Those little one-liners can really improve your life. And if you're interested in seeing some script examples, look at what's going in the PowerShell blog or revisit Windows PowerShell Week, a series of on-demand webcasts.

Thanks for reading.
