Microsoft Project Server 2010 and PowerShell

In case you have not heard SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 will support PowerShell and hence will ship with a library of already about 650 commands. Please find below a few examples I wrote trying to automate Project Service Application creation.

One useful commands to get started:  Get-Help *project* (lists all cmdlet that contains the word ‘project’).

Check out this recently Project Server 2010 PowerShell Help file for more information: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee890098(office.14).aspx

As usual we will release Project Server 2010 PowerShell documentations by RTM on TechNet. One of the great thing about PowerShell is that you can easily create your own commands (think of a utility that issues PSI calls for instance…), stay tune for more samples MSDN, in the meantime experiment the power of PowerShell :)
