More PowerShell modules than you know what to do with
After building a PowerShell Windows 8 server I naturally started to look at PowerShell
Click the icon and it loads
PS C:\Users\Administrator> $psversiontable
Name Value
—- —–
PSVersion 3.0
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0}
BuildVersion 6.2.8102.0
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.17020
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.103
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
Compare with current details from PowerShell v2
PS> $psversiontable
Name Value
—- —–
CLRVersion 2.0.50727.5446
BuildVersion 6.1.7601.17514
PSVersion 2.0
WSManStackVersion 2.0
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0}
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.1
The biggest change is that PowerShell 3 uses .NET 4.0 and WSMan has moved on a version.

To paraphrase a slogan from a well known software company – what do you want to automate today?
Remember – thats before we add any roles or features.
This going to be fun
