I have a limited knowledge on Powershell, but from what I've seen, it can be very useful in admin/dev tasks.

What would I have to develop to get a nice toolset for WSS/Stsadm administration?

Is there something already done to help out in these tasks?

What about 2010? Will they deliver something OOTB for admin with PowerShell?

Hi, if you want to get started with SharePoint and PowerShell here is a great resource by Nicklas Goude: MOSS 2007 Script Collection.

And about PowerShell in SharePoint 2010; the publically released preview of the SDK and Ribbon documentation contained a set of references to PowerShell cmdlets. That's all I can say now, but just wait a few more days and we'll all see what MS have done...

For huge and definitive source of awesome powershell cmdlets and extensions I strongly recommend Gary Lapointe's http://stsadm.blogspot.com/

You'll find links to the list of the commands and his download page link on the right hand side.

Sorry I can't discuss SharePoint 2010 yet due to the NDA that is still in place, but expect to be really impressed :)

Can someone please list a few examples of when you would be better off writing a PowerShell script than writing a Console Application?

I am convinced that PowerShell is going to be BIG for SharePoint 2010, looking at the investment Microsoft has put into providing hundreds of powerful Cmdlets. – Jaap Vossers Nov 2 at 14:37
You should ask this as a new question, would be interested to know! – Alex Angas Nov 5 at 12:16
