Run the query and then […]
If you’ve used ping before you’ll know that it normally returns four replies from the target. In PowerShell we have Test-Connection which does the same job. It also normally returns four replies. When I’m working with remote machines I often want to check they are available before sending a command – especially a WMI command […]

I’ve mentioned the Community Extensions many times in these posts. Version 2.0 is now available http://www.codeplex.com/wikipage?ProjectName=Pscx. It installs as a PowerShell module – much easier and neater. I’ve blogged about the beta a few times – if you didn’t try the beta go and get the RTM
