Like a kid in a candy shop - well a sort of geeky kid
The Windows Management Framework 5.0 came out yesterday twitter-verse was abuzz. Blogging, tweeting, re-tweeting, re-re-tweeting. Lots of interest it appears. It is fun to look at what is new, what improvements have been implemented and begin to see hints of more to come.
Some of the features are fully accessible now, some will take some additional thought. And for each of us those may be different things.
You can find the team announcement on their blog - PowerShell Team Blog.
I'm having a scattered multitasking Friday so I don't know how much time I can spend on this today but I'm excited to dig in. Thanks PowerShell team for delivering a good evaluation guide with these previews, really helpful!
Today I'm;
- Setting up Azure Virtual Machine to begin testing some upcoming products!
- Digging into some PowerShell/Azure synergy I haven't played with yet
- Reviewing the WMF 5.0 September Release
- Working on multiple sessions/webinars/conference proposals
- DSC and Group Policy - compliance for the desktop
- Longer is Stronger - why passphrases are powerful
- PowerShell basics - training sessions for our customers
Some of my favorites from the team announcement are;
- Manage Zip files! - the little things are sometimes great!
- Compress-Archive
- Expand-Archive
- Lots of DSC stuff
- Register a PSRepository with PowerShell Get sounds interesting - hosted modules - work from anywhere? we will soon see
- Switch management - more evolution
- ISE updates to make working with DSC easier
Great job PowerShell team.
