How can I use Powershell to update a Sharepoint list from a server that
doesn't have Sharepoint installed on it?

With Exchange, there is the Admin Tool Kit that you can install on another
server or workstation, which will enable remote administration. I want the
same with Sharepoint.

Any suggestions?

(My goal is to be able to insert SCOM alerts into a Sharepoint List from the
SCOM server which doesn't have Sharepoint installed on it.)

Thanks!

I know Oisin (on here often) has more Sharepoint experience. Now, a
search for "sharepoint SDK" brings up a lot of hits. I would assume it
would contain DLLs you could load on a non-SharePoint system. That
being said, whether it will support native remoting is a different story.

I'd hope you could also get this information remotely via WMI, but a
search for "sharepoint wmi" didn't turn up much.

Thanks Marco.

I didn't want to have to compile my own assemblies if the cmdlets were
installable from another source.

Updating Sharepoint lists are done via a URL, so yes remote updating is very
possible.

Yup, I am writing up a little blog entry explaining how to do this
with powershell - should be later this evening if you can wait ;-)

Alrighty, here it is:

I figured just "update" operations wasn't worth it alone, so I
implented a script for insert and delete too:

Have fun!
