To run PowerShell in Windows Server 2008, first make sure that feature is available, by checking the “Server Manager” or simply forcing its availability by running the following command from a regular command prompt:
start ocsetup MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell
Once the feature is installed, you can run it and take advantage of its power. For example, how about learning about all your drivers by typing
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk
Useful.
