Just a quick question: Can I execute an IIS cmdlet against remote servers? I'd love to use those cmdlets to manage server core remotely. That would be simply perfect! /Dung

In Powershell v1.0 IIS provider could only use DCOM remoting provided by configuration interfaces. Under Vista DCOM remoting setup is quite tricky and limited. We are working on making it easier to use. By the next TP we will clear our plans on this. --Sergei

  Re: Remote capabilities Reply Contact You would have 2 options, with v1, as I see it: 1. Using WMI, you can do a lot of things with IIS 7, but the syntax can be challenging. 2. Use WinRM.  Example from my PowerShell session on XP talking to a Server Core 2008 VM: PSH>winrs -r:http://server -u:Administrator -p:xx c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe With the latter above, I have full access to run all the stuff supported by appcmd.exe.

  Re: Remote capabilities Reply Contact Microsoft.Web.Administration uses the same DCOM remoting that I was talking about, with all the same limitations. In fact, Powershell provider in TP1 uses this library as base framework, and all PowerShell objects produced by provider, have Microsoft.Web.Administration types as BaseObject, look at any object you are getting from PowerShell, for example: >get-item 'iis:\sites\default web site' | get-member
