Question for You Today – SQL Server and PowerShell
I was talking with a speaker today and they’re downright passionate about PowerShell and all that you can do with it. We’ve not yet covered this extensively on SSWUG.ORG – though we do have several great sessions on this in the upcoming vConference.
My question? (You guessed it) – do you use PowerShell, and if so, what types of things are you doing with it? Drop me an email and let me know your thoughts.
In case you’re curious, PowerShell is a scripting language for SQL Server 2008 that extends what you can do using more traditional TSQL. Access to OS-level capabilities, different techniques for specific applications, configuration management and other options are available as part of the language. PowerShell looks to be a scripting language that works with the different server technologies, giving you a common environment to build scripts and capabilities to manage your servers and systems.
