Using PowerShell over SSH
Matt Michie explains how to use PowerShell over SSH-- very cool, given that there won't be secure remoting in the version of PowerShell that should RTM later this year.

Script to find EDB and STM file sizes
Michael B. Smith posted a cool script on his blog today: it finds all the EDB and STM files on Exchange servers in your organization, then tells you how much disk space they actually take up. If you've ever wondered how much disk space your Exchange data is consuming, now you can find out.

Goodbye, Monad; hello, PowerShell
Microsoft announced this week that they were renaming the Monad shell environment to "Microsoft PowerShell", which IMHO is kind of an odd name. Most people, I daresay, associated the "Power" prefix with Apple. At least it's not a super-duper-long name that tries to tie in to a bunch of other products. In line with this name change, the Monad team blog has a new home too: http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell, and MS released release candidiate 1 of the PowerShell environment. However, I haven't gotten around to updating the category names for this blog... too bad.

Monad event log monitoring
The Monad team blog has a useful Monad script for intelligent event log analysis. The simple way to do it is to say
get-eventlog Application | where {$_.EventID -eq -1018}
but this gets the same set of events every time you run it. The team's script uses a checkpoint file to keep track of the last search it did, and it has a few other nice features as well.

New Monad category
I've added a new "Monad" category; I'm sure you can guess why! As we get closer to the release of Exchange 12 beta 2, I'll be posting more Monad-oriented scripts here.
