TechNet PowerShell Script Repository has only examples of Get-WMIObject and AD DirectorySearcher
I am trying to learn more about scripting of PowerShell. Along my journey of discovery I visited the Microsoft Scripting Guys website. On the front page there is a nice bold link for examples of PowerShell code. Here is what I found:
238 Total PowerShell scripts
132 Get-WMIObject scripts
106 AD Directory Searcher scripts
I am very happy the Scripting Guys have examples written. However, the multitude of information could have been contained with write-host demo for get-WMIObject and a demo DirectorySearcher. Then a link to TechNet Library for available WMI objects or AD object structure. Point of Order, I do like the DirectorySearcher examples as they deal with arrays and some pattern matching, however 106 times of that is a bit much.
PowerShell has power, but so far scripting center is only using it as a command line query interface. For WMI might I suggest Microsoft CIM Studio (FREE). CIM Studio is a GUI interface for browsing WMI object (way better than WBEMTest.exe)
My favorite was the feedback panel comments must be limited to less than 256 characters. What are they SMS (text message) the team? So I wrote this blog post, and pasted in a link. Please do not read to far into this post; Scripting Guys website has a multitude of other great information beyond the example scripts. So keep on reading J
I look forward to posting more PowerShell commandlets to complete actions in regards to SMS 2003 and SCCM 2007. Wish me luck!
