Windows PowerShell : SQL Server Support for PowerShell!

 

Jeffrey Snover posted info about the latest SQL Server CTP, including the fact that PowerShell scripting will now be possible. 

Anyone who's been paying attention will not be surprised.  The last major server release was Exchange 2007, which apparently has more cmdlets than PowerShell itself.  So the next version of SQL Server was pretty much a no-brainer.

Jeffrey points out that a CTP feature doesn't mean it will be in the final product.  But I'll bet that this is either in the shipping version of SQL Server 2008 or will be made available as a free download in the SQL Server 2008 lifetime.

Now, I'd like to see the list of cmdlets, please!
