Sometimes we get so used to how software works that we just miss if anything works differently. I am amazed to how many users I talk who have never noticed this feature in PrimalScript, even though it has been there since 2.0… In case you don’t remember, that was in the year 2000. I hope […]

Developing PowerShell scripts for other machines (Part 2)
Yesterday we showed you how to export the cache information on a remote machine. Today we go through the steps to actually use that information. Remember that we exported the cache file on that Windows 2008R2 machine as “WIN2008R2TESTVM.CacheExport”. Let’s assume we put that file on the desktop of your local machine. Now fire up […]
Developing PowerShell scripts for other machines (Part 1)
One of the challenges you face while developing any PowerShell script is that modules that reside on your target platform are not available on your local computer. Just as an example, try installing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 modules on your 32 bit Windows XP/Vista/7/8 machine. It just won’t work. PrimalScript 2012 and SAPIEN PowerShell Studio 2012 […]

Get help for modules on other machines
When you develop scripts for other computers you don’t always have the luxury of installing the relevant modules on your own computer. In many cases they simply won’t install because you are running the wrong OS or don’t have some required server software running. Luckily the context sensitive help in PrimalScript or PowerShell Studio doesn’t […]
LOST! The forgotten features
A week ago I was hanging out with PowerShell trainer extraordinaire Jason Helmick and while we where geeking out over PowerShell tricks and software features (yes, I know, bad, isn’t it?)
