I'm glad to hear from the creator. That's one reason I love HN. Our Windows folks are big Powershell fans here. You wouldn't find too many complaints with it.

The biggest problem going with Powershell would be bootstapping it into the environment if it's not already installed or if you depend upon a more recent version. Since we're actively evaluating lifecycle management tools right now, this is our main concern. Many of the integrations to provisioning tools flow downhill from frontends which manage the state of many systems. We find ourselves choosing the best-integrated stack rather than evaluating provisioning software. The plumbing is very important, but a well-written lifecycle tool should make the copper pipes less visible.
