Windows PowerShell Blog

On of the reasons I have holding back on Powershell is that it lacks remote execute.. am I right? That is I cannot do regular admin work remote, I have to do it locally, unless I use WMI or some instances like that.

This is great news - congratulations.

Is this v1 Powershell thats shipping and when you say every version does this include core?

And I wonder just how much of the uptake is because you *have* to have it for Exchange 2007...

And how much of the further development is becasue doing things like manipulating Exchange 2007 security permissions is a big pain in the bum with PowerShell.

It looks like the URL for PowerGUI is http://powergui.org and not ".com" as noted in the blog item.

PowerShell a Windows

Congratulations. I've been playing around with powershell since the early betas, and I just bought Windows PowerShell In Action so I can really get down and learn the nitty gritty details.

It's just a shame it wasn't included in Vista - SP1 maybe?

I'm on the same page as Mike Weller -- I would also love to see PowerShell be included in an upcoming Vista Service Pack.

I'm a heavy user of cmd.exe; I love getting things done from the command prompt.  I was initially very excited to spend time learning PowerShell (back when it was still "monad"), but my enthusiasm lessened significantly when I learned that PowerShell was not going to be included with Windows Vista.  This is because even a few years down the road when Vista has become the dominant business client machine OS, any machine that I sit down at other than my own is highly likely not to have PowerShell installed, and I'll just have to fall back on cmd.exe anyway.

Perhaps it isn't too late to remedy this situation?  There's still a chance to put the power of PowerShell into "the typical Windows machine" of a few years from now by including it in Vista SP1!

Yesterday I had a had a chance to have dinner and drinks with another group here for a Technology Summit

On my birthday (Feb 15th), I got some great news that I haven't been able to share publicly until today.

I thought I'd post some Viridian, Carmine and Longhorn gossip. Well it's not's really gossip, but more

Yes, PSH v1 itself does not have full featured remoting, except via WMI.  It is apparently planned for v1.x or v2, but there's no ETA.  There are some 3rd parties working on PSH remoting solutions though, as indicated in the blog post.

I know, i know. It was announced 2 days ago at MMS Windows PowerShell will be in the box on Longhorn

i only wish we could tunnel backwards in time and have powershell included in all versions of all operating systems since the invention of the integrated circuit.

off the top of my head i think the syntax for this is:

get-OS * | where {$_.InstallDate -lt [DateTime]::Today} | Add-Powershell

A variety of Microsoft news items from this week that did not find a post of their own. EU Asks Microsoft Rivals About Word, Excel Dominance: European regulators are questioning Microsoft Corp.’s competitors on whether the company is using it..

thanks, i've used powershell before and loved it.

Is PowerShell included in Longhorn Server Core or not?

I have not seen an answer definitively as of yet?

Anyone have a URL?

Thanks ahead of time.

Whatever happened to this? I was so interested in it but it never did come with the shipment as far as I can find and now no one ever talk about it anymore.

I was curious about it as well thanks for the update!
