| | Where is Powershell in Server 2008 Hi! Everything I have seen says that Powershell ships with Windows Server 2008, but when I type Powershell at the start search area, nothing is returned. I would have expected it to be pre-installed and ready to go. It is the most important tool in the system. Where do I find it or how do I install it? By the way, it is the RTM version Windows Server 2008 standard from Technet that I installed. regards, Alan. |

| | Re: Where is Powershell in Server 2008 Thanks, I found it now. I would have expected it to just be there like the old command prompt is. I suppose there is some logic to where it is, given the trend to minimal configurations, but I can't imagine running even the most basic system without it. regards, Alan.

That makes a lot of sense in context of the minimal attack surface stuff--but it's not exposed as a role or feature that I've found so far. You have to run this to enable it: winrm quickconfig It's very quick to do and it takes care of making the firewall rule. -- Hal Rottenberg Blog: http://halr9000.com Webmaster, Psi (http://psi-im.org) Co-host, PowerScripting Podcast (http://powerscripting.net) |

| | Re: Where is Powershell in Server 2008 We would have all wanted powershell there by default in 2008, but the main reason we can't is dependencies. Win2008 is designed to be as light as you want, and because Powershell Relies on the dotnetframework, it has a huge stack of dependencies that are options , the dotnet framework has windowsforms tightly integrated and that relies on a huge section of the graphical subsystem etc etc etc. -karl Alan van der Vyver wrote: Quote: > Thanks, I found it now. > > I would have expected it to just be there like the old command prompt > is.
