  • Understanding the Feedback Process

    During the development of any product, the vision for the upcoming release is driven by the desire to help as many customers in the most effective way possible. One of the interesting aspects of a release is balancing the effort you spend on different aspects of that project: New features and broad changes designed to address significantly new customer scenarios. Feature updates and incremental changes...

  • What's Up With Command Prefixes?

    We like to say that PowerShell uses Verb-Noun naming.  If we were accurate, we would say that PowerShell uses Verb- Prefix Noun naming.  For instance: Get-WinEvent .  WIN is a prefix for Windows.  Every now and again people look at this and ask “ what's up with command prefixes ?!? ”.  Actually, the question usually comes from teams that are implementing Cmdlets and don't...

  • Select –ExpandProperty <PropertyName>

    Most of us are familiar with the traditional use of Select –ExpandProperty <propertyname>.  This takes a the value of an incoming object, enumerates its values and outputs each of those values as a single record on the output stream after adding any properties specified by the –PROPERTIES <propertyname[]> parameter.  An example will help: PS> gps |Select -ExpandProperty Modules...

  • The Glory of Quick and Dirty Scripting

    One of the things I want us to consider doing in the future is to leverage our Universal Code Execution infrastructure to execute any kind of code. For example, imagine that I have some script foo.vbs, I’d like to do the following: PS>  Invoke-Command –FilePath foo.vbs –computer (cat servers.txt) I was about to file a record for us to consider this and thought – wait – I bet that there are...

  • What’s New in PowerShell V2 - By Joel “Jaykul” Bennett

    PowerShell MVP Jaykul gave a presentation to the NY PowerShell user group and was kind enough to post the text of his slides HERE .  One of the problems I have in talking about V2 is that there is SO much good stuff that I often get the levelling wrong – spending too much time on one area and then needing to skip over others.  Jaykul slides are great because they tell the PowerShell V2 story...

  • Analyzing Weblog Data Using the Admin Development Model

    Someone just tweeted a link to Scott Hanselman’s 2007 blog (an oldie but goodie) about how he used PowerShell to analyze the WebLog data from his podcasts.  He provides a beautiful example of I like to call the “Admin Development model”.  The whole point of the Admin Development Model is that you use tools to quickly and iteratively investigate things until you have an answer and then you...
