As you probabaly know, VMware hosted a contest a while back that challenged admins to use the new PowerShell Toolkit to create the most valuable tool. The winner of the contest was Hugo Peeters. I wanted to draw attention to this because his web site is a great resource for PowerShell scripting. Check it out at:
You should also look for Hugo on the VMware forums where he is a valuable contributor.
In other Toolkit news, you will soon be able to issue PowerShell commands and scripts directly to your guest using commandlets in the VI Toolkit. I saw a demo of this today in which an admin would be able to issue a command such as ‘ipconfig’ directly to the PowerShell on the guest OS running inside ESX. This raises some questions in my mind, such as security context? I will have more information posted here once I get it.
