Thanks for the link. :)

Karl have you tried it out yet. If so, what are the changes.

Numerous changes.

Google Hey! Scripting Guy.

Here's a link:
Discover Windows PowerShell 3.0 Cmdlets - Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

Thanks Karl. That site will take some time to go through but I will.

If I find a better write-up than his, I'll let you know.

Here is a more complete list of ps 3.0 articles

Not sorted by importance,but rather alphabetically.

LaybackBear,

This may be one of the items that you wanted. ( I know that I did).

This shows the new cmdlets. This does not show the improvements, except for indirectly for the Where cmdlet which has been simplified (no more of that $_. notation).

Get-Command -CommandType cmdlet | Foreach-Object { get-help $_ } | select name, description |
where description -match "This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0" |
Format-Table -property name -AutoSize –Wrap

For both of these two little scripts, then just delete the "-property name" and you will get both the name and the description.

You will notice that there have been improvements made in some of the very important cmdlets.

I'd start using them in some of my scripts here, but not until PS 3.0 is available thru the normal Win 7 updates.

Karl I put you to work. I didn't intend to do that. Thanks. Would it be a good idea for a beginner just to remove 2.0 and start learning again just using 3.0.
