GPMC on Windows Server 2008 R2 and PowerShell
Aug 4, 2010

Team:

I'm racing toward getting out the door for my 30+ day trip to tour Australia and speak at Microsoft TechEd Australia and New Zealand.

But, I had a quick second to share a fun little PowerShell + GP tip... If you've NEVER used PowerShell before.. try this one. It's fun and easy.

If you want to install the GPMC on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine via command line, you can use PowerShell. The commands are as follows:

-Import-Module Servermanager
-Add-WindowsFeature GPMC

Then, if you then run the following command you will see the status as installed

- Get-WindowsFeature GPMC

Again, leave OFF the periods. Try it.. something "special" that's unexpected and neat happens. It's super-fun !

Also.. I came across this super-nice write up of my latest book. I can't even figure out the person's name to thank him for such a nice review..  but, Thank You Mr. or Ms. Whomever you are.

Here's the review:

Talk soon.. Gotta run !
