PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time #50 Set-WSManInstance

Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Set-WSManInstance cmdlet.

What can I do with it?

Change the properties of a management resource for use with WS-Management.

Example:

Set the Enabled property of the HTTPS listener created with New-WSManInstance to false, effectively disabling it. Tip: watch out for case sensitivity in ValueSet

Set-WSManInstance winrm/config/listener 
-SelectorSet @{address="*";transport="https"}
-ValueSet @{Enabled="false"}

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

Support for the use of WS-Management in PowerShell is provided as part of the 2.0 release.
