People are doing a lot of interesting things with Powershell. Joel Bennett is a magician of “Look what it can do”. But then I came across this post from John Robbins’ blog and was blown away – Powerpoint, in Powershell. What better way to show the power and flexibility of Posh than to do it in posh! Friggin brilliant!

Now this seems really promising! I’ve been involved with Silect Software since their inception years ago. They make some great tools – MP Studio in particular. But its costs has always made it a hard sell with clients, since there’s “already a way to author management packs in SCOM”.
But what there isn’t in OpsMgr is a quick, easy, and simple way to find out just what’s running on that server – until now.
Silect is announcing the Agent Explorer feature of the next version of MP Studio.
With Agent Explorer you’ll be able see exactly what rules, monitors, discoveries and management packs are running on a given server.
Interested? View the 5 min screencap and then email Randy R and tell him you want to try this out!
So my current contract has ended and while I have some spare time I’m going to be focusing fiercely (Well, fiercely for me anyway) on “Project KONOP”, the OpsMgr Web Service. I’ve even been so bold as to take the liberty in registering SCOMWS.com to host it.
And a new project, still unfinished – SystemCenterSearch.com. Hoping to make it a very basic ‘portal’ for all things system center – but mainly centered on the most recent issues, most common problems and solutions, and a simple search that looks through all of the system center websites for your query.
And for you Redditors out there I’ve made two new sub-reddits. /r/SystemCenter – dedicated to all things System Center related and /r/SCOM – dedicated to just OpsMgr stuff (Of which we know I’m kind of partial to).
So just a quick note to let you know what I’m working on. Now, I’m back to working on website front-ends and building a web service using a 5 year old book from MS Press heh.
