The GUI management tools were built on top of PowerShell and
provide only a subset of the functions available from the command line.
Initial feedback during the beta releases was that providing a mostly PowerShell interface was not
something even experienced administrators would embrace. As the beta releases of the product
continued the Exchange Management Shell (the PowerShell-based management tool for Exchange Server
2007) continued to improve as did the Exchange Management Console (the GUI-based management
tool).
Slowly, the Management Shell has begun to win over many of the opposers because it provides more
functionality, it??™s often quicker, and it provides more power to the administrator. Many administrators
now prefer to use the Exchange Management Shell over the Exchange Management Console for these
reasons.
Although groundwork will be laid for new Exchange features, this book is tailored to current Exchange
professionals wanting to take full advantage of the new Management shell, PowerShell, for deploying,
configuring, managing, and maintaining an Exchange Server 2007 organization. Details for many of the
PowerShell commands are provided along with real-world examples for using these commands.
Time is spent explaining many of the key commands along with details behind using them.
