I know there are a couple screencast on Channel9 (DRO) regarding Powershell
hosting within a Winform application and finally using MMC.

Does anyone else know of any other online resources or tutorials?

I'm interested in replacing some of my monitoring BAT files with Powershell.
At the same time, I thought it would be cool to use MMC to display a
listview of the information -- or provide some sort of data entry textbox
for updating information.

I'm surprised that ScriptingGuy and Jeff Snover isn't pushing this
technology on their blogs and Powershell home page more.

Yes, Exchange 2007 is doing it! Now, how can us simpletons do it?

You may mis-understand the use of MMC and Powershell and maybe the best way
to explain is how the Exchange guys did it.

When they wrote their management interface/applications they wrote them as
Powershell Snapins using the Powershell Namespace. Then included these in
their MMC project. All the code was C# not powershell. AFAIK you cannot
write a MMC in powershell.

That said... with a little twinking you can Use Windows Forms in a
powershell script to do what your looking for.

I think you'll see more about PowerShell and MMC together... Look for
the codename "Aspen" although there isn't much out there yet...

That was a very useful set of videos. Hopefully he'll make a few more of
them.

I'm working on a setup/deployment for a product that uses both powershell and
mmc v3 as prerequisites.

How do I search in the registry for these programs before installation begins?
