New! Windows PowerShell Help on TechNet

I know there's a lot of interest around Windows PowerShell. Here's some information you might be interested in as a Group Policy Administrator:

• A TechNet magazine article entitled, "Simplify Group Policy Administration with Windows PowerShell" by Thorbjörn Sjövold was published this past May. If you missed it you can read it here, https://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/05/GroupPolicy/default.aspx
• SDM Software released a GPExpert™ Scripting Toolkit for PowerShell which you can download from here, https://www.sdmsoftware.com/products2.php

If you are now looking for information to help you understand and learn Windows PowerShell, then you can find new help on TechNet at: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb978526.aspx

And you can find the Windows PowerShell Programmer's Guide that provides tutorials for creating cmdlets, providers, and hosting applications at: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=89596

The Windows PowerShell User Assistance team is looking for feedback on the documentation. Please send your feedback to tellPSUA@microsoft.com

Also, if you've found other good references for Group Policy and Windows PowerShell please add the information using the comments link below.

  Hey guys! Thanks for the link to the Scripting Toolkit. Also note that we have some free PowerShell cmdlets that wrap GPMC functionality available at www.sdmsoftware.com/freeware.php. These let you do most of the things you can do in GPMC, using PowerShell! Darren

  Nice post Group Policy folks! I just saw the post and thought I'd take this opportunity to highlight a post I published yesterday to help people new to Powershell get up and running quickly. In my post, I list 5 simple steps to take someone from no knowledge whatsoever to running scripts in less than 30 minutes. You can find my recent post here: http://blogs.technet.com/shawnt/archive/2007/12/17/how-to-use-the-powershell-1-0-a-beginner-s-guide.aspx Shameless plug, I know. But I have no shame. :) Thanks! Shawn
