Windows PowerShell 2.0 Community Technology Preview 2  beta

Publisher's Description:

Windows PowerShell (formerly Monad) is a task-based command line shell and intuitive scripting language for system administration that provides comprehensive control and automation for Windows administrators. It makes administrators more productive by improving the manageability of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows. Exchange Server 2007 and System Center Operations Manager 2007 (Microsoft Operations Manager “V3”) will be built upon Windows PowerShell.

Fortunately - i have installed this after reinstaling windows (xp) , so did not have any issues with removing v1 , which seems to have happened based on an earlier post . works fine - love the graphical option my only gripe - is that if you move/rename start menu group - when you run the app - it wants to access the original .msi and reinstall the original start menu group again !! i think this is something that ms loves to do , as if i remember correctly Messenger/live/v8 does too.... but we wont get into the politics

If you cannot remove Windows PowerShell v1.0 through the Add/Remove Software Control Panel, read this: http://blogs.msdn.com/po...indows-server-2003.aspx Note that you will need some version of Visual Studio 2005 (use the shortcut for the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt) to uninstall the .NET assemblies. If gacutil /u does not work you will need to remove ALL values called "PowerShell Setup" from the registry under HKLM\Software/Microosft/Fusion/References. Then gacutil /u will function.

Very useful and there is a growing community of people writing plugins and scripts for it. And to those who rate this poor simply because they hate Microsoft (yet haven't even used the product), it's people like you who add "ratings pollution" to such a great site like FileForum. Make this site better by adding useful comments and save the trolling for message boards, please.

Much better than cmd.exe. More friendly than WSH Not as powerful as bash.
