With the introduction of Windows 2008 MS intergrated PowerShell into the platform. Microsoft plans to have PowerShell as a de facto software to control MS software. Even though PowerShell ver 2.0 has been introduced along with Windows 2008 R2 usage of it has been minimal due to CLI. I have found a cool software which allow any administrators to start using PowerShell easily. Have a look into the software and see how feasible it is for you and be create to create your own PowerShell cmdlets.
