Power Scripting
PowerScripting Podcast - Episode 24 Admin Script EditorIn This Episode
- Today weâll be speaking to Steven Behrns from iTripoli, the developers who
brought you Admin Script Editor. Also on tap: news, resources, and a bunch of
PowerShell tips for you. In addition, weâve got a product giveaway, the first of
many! But you have to listen to find out how to enter.

News
The News today is sponsored by SDM Software.
Before we go into the spiel, Iâd like to mention that weâve gotten some great
feedback from Quest already, so thanks to everyone who has done a clickthrough
and filled out the form. You do keep doing that, and we keep the advertisers
happy, and that allows US to do more for you. You will start to see the results
of that in this very show!
âSDM Software provides innovative solutions that combine PowerShell and Group
Policy to help reduce the complexity of managing your Windows systems. Their
unique GPExpert Scripting Toolkit for PowerShell, provides the means to automate
the management of your Group Policy Objects.
To get more information about
these products and download trial copies,

- We want to highlight a ton of IMPORTANT posts which Jeffrey Snover has made
over the past few weeks:
- How
Could You Top CTP1?
- This post has the background for why and how some upcoming changes will be
made.
- Changes
in upcoming CTP
- This post has an extract from the release notes for CTP2. Very important to
read if you want to keep up with the new version. Thereâs also some good
discussion in the comments attached to the article.
- Get-Random
- I love this quote: I saw THIS
posting over on Mark Minasiâs forums that caught my eye. It gives you a random
help file under the motto of: âA powershell help file a day, keeps Don Jones
awayâ
- The article goes on to talk about a new cmdlet by the name Get-Random which
will get you a random number, orâgrab a random item from a collection.
- iTripoli just released version 3.5 of their Admin Script Editor. (Should be
out by the time you read this.) It now includes a debugger and has a ton of
PowerShell templates.
- VMware just
announced that Beta 2 of VMware Server 2 (the free version of their
virtualization software) is manageable by their PowerShell Toolkit! This is
awesome news for smaller shops which have not shelled out for their higher-end
Virtual Infrastructure products.
Interview
[sponsor] Our interview today is brought to you by Quest
Software.
Quest LOVES PowerShell. Go to www.quest.com
/ PowerShell and download their free graphical user interface, script editor
and Active Directory cmdlets. While youâre there, join their online community
where you can share ideas and download free PowerPacks to extend PowerGUI. Visit
www.quest.com
/ powershell today!
We interview Steven Behrns from iTripoli in todayâs show. Be sure to listen!
Here are some of the questions we asked him.
- Who is Steven? What do you do at iTripoli, and what is your background?
- co-founder
- company started in 2001 w/Bob Kelly. Kixscript editor
- What are your favorite features?
- Comprehensive code wizards to generate ps script code for ADSI, WMI, XML,
database connections, etc.
- Script packager, turns your scripts into an executable.
- Script Form Designer
- When did iTripoli get into PowerShell? Was it a hard sell internally or was
this an obvious way forward for ASE?
- Thought about this in 2006 during a code overhaul discussion.
- First supported powershell in spring of 2007 with the release of 3.0.
- What are the primary design goals for ASE? How has it done in the
marketplace and changed over time?
- Everything related to making scripting tasks easier.
- They want ASE to appear invisible and intuitive to the scripters.
- How long was the dev cycle (for PowerShell support)? What were your greatest
challenges?
- Where do you see PowerShell in two years? How will ASE evolve to match it?
- So I heard you have something to show us?
- They wrote a podcast / MP3
player entirely in PowerShell as an example of how much you can do.
- The graphics in the GUI are embedded WITHIN the script file using base-64
encoding.
Thanks a bunch to Steven, we had fun with the interview.
Resources
- We have two links for you today from John Robbins, author and master
debugger. Itâs a heartwarming before
and after
powershell love story.
He also
links to a Compile-Help
script which we somehow missed when it was new. This script grabs the help
files from all installed cmdlets as well as the about topics, and packages them
into a HTML help file for easy reading. - Carter at VMware (yes, Hal has a thing about them, sorry) also blogged about
a way to have your VMware alert events fire
off instant messages using Jabber
One-Liner
- One liner sent to us by John Cook and a write up on his blog
- $env:path -replace â;â, â`nâ
Give Away
- A beautiful NFR copy of Windows Vista Ultimate could be yours. Listen to the
show for how to enter.

Little BrotherI am pleased to be able to help promote the launch of Cory Doctorow's latest book, Little Brother. I was privileged to be able to read an early draft of this book and cannot recommend it highly enough to my listeners. So much so that I am taking Cory up on his offer to share an excerpt from my own purchased copy of the audiobook with his permission.
I encourage you to pick up your own copy, in your favorite format, right away. You can find details on the launch at Cory's site and you can buy the book in audio or dead tree formats. The link to the free electronic text is not up yet, I will post an update as soon as it is.
