C|Net | at | by Mike
In a wide-ranging stream of announcements this week, Microsoft has added substance to its plans for the future of Windows Server and formally launched a new scripting engine, PowerShell.
The announcements were made by Microsoft's vice president for servers and tools, Bob Muglia, in front of nearly 7,500 delegates at Microsoft's TechEd IT Forum in Barcelona on Tuesday.
Leading the way was Windows PowerShell 1.0, Microsoft's new command-line shell and scripting tool, which IT managers can use to control their Windows systems. PowerShell will help IT professionals "achieve greater productivity, more easily control system administration and accelerate automation," the company said.
