His point about Powershell was this:
"Every element of the operating system and virtually every other companion server, such as SQL, Exchange or Lync, are completely manageable through PowerShell. This is so ingrained that the GUIs are just buttons that call PowerShell scripts underneath."
Which sounds exclusive to Server 2012.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoIt isn't exclusive to 2012. It is exclusive to the product its self. If the product will only run on 2012 then it is exclusive to 2012, but otherwise it will work fine on 2008 R2.
- tiernano 14y agoyea, but IIS, HyperV and any internal features to the OS (DNS Server, DHCP, ActiveDirectory, etc) all, on 2012, have Powershell support, but not necessarily on 2008 R2.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoRight, but much of it is. Powershell has been a core part of Windows server and its respective components for a while.
- jstclair 14y ago"Windows Server 2008/R2 shipped with ~230 cmdlets. Windows Server 2012 beats that by a factor of over 10 shipping ~ 2,430 cmdlets." http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsserver/archive/2012/05/30/windows-server-2012-powershell-3-0-and-devops-part-2.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsserver/archive/2012/05/30/...
