Tuesday, January 20, 2009

A lot of work was done between Tech Preview 2 and now.

The team focused mainly on augmenting the PowerShell Provider with almost 70 task-oriented cmdlets useful for day-to-day administrative tasks.

Here is a quick categorization of the task-oriented cmdlets:

Mangement of Sites/Apps/Vdirs/AppPools (create/start/stop/remove/convert/recycle)
Management of site bindings (add/change/remove)
Management of Handlers and Modules/Managed Modules (add/change/remove)
Enablement of Request Tracing
Backup and Restore of IIS configuration
Locking/unlocking of sections/elements/attributes
Getting file system path for config files and web application content
Access to run-time data, e.g.
---Exploring currently executing requests
---AppDomain Management
