If you are like me and didn’t get the chance to go to The Last Hope (The conference put on by 2600 Magazine.), you can now download the talks in .MP3 format.

I am a huge fan of 2600 and have been reading it for years. I hope to go to the conference next time it is offered.

Random PowerShell Cmdlet Fun

win2kmaster — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:10:52 GMT

I wanted to see what additional PowerShell cmdlet’s I had installed on my computer. I found out that get-pssnapin does the job!

Just run the following in your PowerShell window:

get-pssnapin –registered

You should get an out put like this:

PS C:\tools> get-pssnapin –registered

Name : Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement
PSVersion : 1.0
Description : Registers the CmdLets and Providers in this assembly

PS C:\tools>

Then all you do to load the snap in is type:

add-pssnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement

If you wanted to load all available snap ins, just type:

get-pssnapin –registered | add-pssnapin

PowerShell gets better by the day.
