WSMan • Microsoft’s strategic Management Protocol • DMTF standard network protocol “Web Services - Management” • WSMan cmdlets allow access to any device that complies with CIM and WSMan standards • The WinRM service in Windows implements the server role of the WSMan protocol • Microsoft extensions to WSMan enable PowerShell remoting (1-1, 1-many, many-1)

8. WMI • Microsoft’s implementation of CIM • Mature infrastructure. Increasing body of providers • WSMAN starts a new round of infrastructure investment • W7 & WS08/R2 • CIM version 2.17.1 compatibility • DMTF Profile discovery • Interop namespace • Cross-namespace association traversal • Themes going forward • Support language standards • Easier programming models • Performance and resource consumption • Tighter integration with PowerShell

9. PowerShell • Microsoft’s strategic AUTOMATION ENGINE • Provides BOTH • Shell and scripting experience for end users • Management infrastructure and instrumentation for developers • Accesses everything from anywhere and glues it together • CEC • DataAdapters • Cmdlets for WebServices, nativecode, WSMAN, AD • Remoting • 1->1, 1->N, N->1 • HTTP, proxies, credentials, implicit remoting, delegated admin • Supports a great ecosystem of administrators and partners

10. PowerShell in Server Core • Full Command Line PowerShell • Scripts and cmdlets are limited like any other code or script • Installing PowerShell • Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell
