IIS7 and PowerShell – the Lovefest
I had the great honor of demoing PowerShell and IIS7 during BobMu's keynote address at IT Forum in Barcelona. It is awesome what these two technologies can deliver when used together. You can find out more about this at the following link: http://www.iis.net/News/Item.aspx?i=1213 10,000 thanks to Sergei Antonov (IIS developer) Bill Staples (IIS PUM) and Jim Truher (PS PM) for making this possible. Special thanks to Sergei and Bill, they have been longtime PowerShell friends. IIS was one of the first teams to see the potential of PowerShell and to support it. Jeffrey Snover [MSF...
No, really – PowerShell V1.0 IS released :-)
A log It turns out that having it available on a particular day means different things to different people. After all, a day has 24 hours in it. Add the fact that we announced in Barcelona which is 9 hours off Redmond time and you've got 33 hours of interpretation. :-) 10,000 apologizes for the inconvience. It should all be working now.http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/download.mspx Jeffrey Snover [MSFT]Windows PowerShell/MMC ArchitectVisit the Windows PowerShell Team blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/PowerShellVisit the Wi...

Don't forget your GETs – The importance of naming consistency
PowerShell and SMO are getting together like chocolate and peanut butter. Yesterday I blogged about Bob Beauchemin's TechEd talk about the today and today I see Dan Sullivan's PowerSMO blog entry: http://pluralsight.com/blogs/dan/archive/2006/11/07/41936.aspx . Dan includes the scripts he used in a ZIP file so you can easily use them. I really liked what Dan is doing with one exception - his scripts don't use the naming standards. In particular, his scripts don't use "get". For example, here is how it gets the SMO constructors: PS C:\demos> SMO-ctors (SMOT-Ma...
Day 1: TechEd Developers in Barcelona
I'm finally here at day one of TechEd Developers in Barcelona. The trip from Seattle is long and hard. So long and hard that my bags couldn't make it. They decided to hang out in Coppenhagen for a while. That explains why I'm walking around looking like Don Johnson (if you are too young to remember Miami Vice, just count your blessings, they are more than you know :-) ). I'm an experienced enough business traveller to keep a day's worth of essentials in my carry on bag but I learned that trick back when I had a beard so I'll need to update my list of essentials to incl...
