PowerGUI is a graphical user interface and script editor for Microsoft Windows PowerShell. It is an extensible graphical administrative console for managing systems based on Windows PowerShell. These include Windows OS (XP, 2003, Vista), Exchange 2007, Operations Manager 2007 and other new systems from Microsoft. The tool allows to use the rich capabilities of Windows PowerShell in a familiar and intuitive GUI console.

The main system requirement is Windows PowerShell 1.0 or 2.0 (which in its turn requires .net framework 2.0). If you don't have this installed on your computer PowerGUI setup will detect that and open a web page from which the system can be downloaded. In terms of operating systems we support Windows XP, 2003, Vista, and Longhorn; both 32- and 64-bit. Particular snapins may add their specific system requirements. For example the Exchange 2007 snapin we ship today naturally requires Exchange 2007 or its administrative tools.

Pretty much anything that the underlying system permits. You can browse through the system, filter/sort what you get, select the columns, perform actions on selected objects, change their properties, export data to clipboard, Excel, xml, or just html reports, and much more. And if you don't believe this is all being done by Windows PowerShell just switch to another tab and you'll see the PowerShell code behind what you've been doing.

The license of this software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this system maintenance software.
