PowerShell Admin Module – A Follow Up

in a recent blog article I wrote about a new Codeplex project called PowerShell Admin Modules, being developed by super-star MVP Richard Siddaway. I noted two small things I’d noticed about the module. Well today, Richard wrote to say he’d fixed Get-Share to accept wildcards and had changed around the parameters of New-Share to match that of the venerable Net Share.

He also mentions the latest version, 0.2, has a bunch of functions for dealing with binary and hex numbers, which include:

• ConvertTo-Binary
• ConvertTo-Decimal
• ConvertTo-Hex
• Get-BinaryAND
• Get-BinaryDifference
• Get-BinaryOR
• Get-BinarySum
• Get-BinaryXOR
• Get-HexDifference
• Get-HexSum
• Test-Binary
• Test-Hex

This is nice work – although one thought would be to merge the functions of PSAM into the PowerShell Community Extensions.

Windows PowerShell Wiki

Another source of information about PowerShell is the Windows PowerShellWiki Service on the myITforum.com site. The Wiki, which anyone can edit, contains: 

• News – news about PowerShell
• Support – links to live support
• Downloads – links to PowerShell related downloads
• Docs – links to external documents
• Books – short list of PowerShell books
• Training – information on PowerShell training
• How Do I – links to ways to do things with PowerShell
• Tools and Utilities – links to tools and utilities related to PowerShell
• Other Resources – links to other resources, including other blogs etc.

A useful site – all the better since the community can add to it. I’ve added a couple of things to the wiki today, including a link to V2 of PowerShell V2 and a link to my PowerShell scripts blog.
