I was very surprised to find even the Microsoft Press "Windows Command Line Pocket Consultant" had a healthy dose of PowerShell in it. I almost feel like I have no choice but to learn it. :) Rich - if you're looking for a good Powershell book to start with, I found the Powershell Cookbook from O'Reilly has been a good read, with alot of practical examples on common OS tasks. I started from scratch on PowerShell with this book. I think we are going to see a good amount of new Powershell Scripts coming out of the VMware Powershell contest they are holding.

Judging by their track record so far, VMware has come to the same conclusions for the majority of their customers. Andrew,

Thanks for the link

Kevin,

I know as little about scripting with Perl as I do with PowerShell, but I know I am more likely to use a Windows OS to script at work then a Linux OS. Judging by their track record so far, VMware has come to the same conclusions for the majority of their customers.

There's a lot of windows admins, who are also ESX admins, and if they feel more comfortable with powershell, then what does it hurt?

@Kevin, I agree, but not everyone is comfortable with perl. There’s a lot of windows admins, who are also ESX admins, and if they feel more comfortable with powershell, then what does it hurt?

I can do the same things with perl, and don't have to do it from a windoze box. What is all the fuss about with powershell?
