PowerScripting Podcast - Episode 28 - Jeffrey Snover talks about WinRM

 

A Podcast about Windows PowerShell.

 

In This Episode

 

We have a great show for you guys today. Several weeks back we had Jeffrey

Snover on the show. We had teased at the time that there was a third portion to

the interview that deals with WinRM and WS-MGMT. We’re going to play that today

for you. Also on tap: news, resources, and a bunch of PowerShell tips for you.

 

News

 

* BGShell now has a Codeplex page

* Microsoft Forefront 2008 (code-named Stirling) looks to be built on

PowerShell. Here’s a blog post.

* PowerShell Plus supports the new CTP2 STA feature

o This is big because it allows for you to play with all of the new

WPF stuff we’ll be talking about later in the show.

 

Interview

 

We hope you enjoy the Jeffrey Snover clip on Win-RM and WS-MGMT.

 

Resources

 

* Very cool (and important) series on PowerShell & WPF from James Brundage

on the Powershell Team blog. Read this one first, he explains the rationale

behind focusing on WPF: PowerShell and WPF: WTF

o WPF & PowerShell – Part 1 ( Hello World & Welcome to the Week of WPF )

o WPF & PowerShell – Part 2 (Exploring WPF (and the rest of .NET)

with Scripts)

o WPF & PowerShell — Part 3 (Handling Events)

o WPF & PowerShell — Part 4 (XAML & Show-Control)

o WPF & PowerShell - Part 5 ( Using WPF & PowerShell Modules)

o WPF & PowerShell - Part 6 (Running Functions in the Background)

* Beware the custom console. Kirk Munro does a great job of explaining the

problems that can result from custom consoles.

o Disturbing hint seen on “The Industry Insiders” MSDN blog about a

possible SQL Server 2008 “closed console”. Go leave feedback on the blog post

and voice your opinions.

* Slides from a presentation that Keith Hill gave to a local user group to

which he’s a member.

* Here’s an excellent post from Joel at HuddlesMasses.org in which he goes

into great detail about regarding the new Modules feature in CTP2. He’s figured

out a ton of stuff which is not documented anywhere else yet so be sure to check

it out.

* Here’s a link to Jaykul’s (whose real name is Joel–not Jaykul!)

Select-Grid script.

* Speaking of TechEd earlier, Carter from VMware on the VI PowerShell blog

has posted an entry with code and a video of a demo he’ll be showing at TechEd.

* Don Jones has an article in the latest TechNET magazine where he talks

about different output types

* Also on VMware, Brandon Shell has put up a few screencast demos in a new

“Playing around” series he’s doing on the BSonPosh blog. The series is not

exclusive to VMware, he also talks about Citrix, AD and more.

o Video 1: Intro to VMWare VI Toolkit for Windows

o Video 2: Controlling VMWare VMs with VI Toolkit

o Video 3: Vmotion with VI ToolKit

 

Tips

 

* A basic tip on using the backtick character to escape in a string. From

Richard Siddaway’s blog

* watch out for strings that look like collections

* From Oisin and his blog Nivot Ink: Manipulating remote SharePoint Lists

with PowerShell. The article is from late February but it came up earlier this

week on the #powershell IRC channel (irc.freenode.net).
