  How strange, I was only talking to Simon long about this the other day, don’t forget of course that Sapien have a nice portable app for those sites where you are unable to install additional components called PrimalPad…

  Indeed. I have PrimalPad and Notepad++ (for vbscript) in my profile folder so that I can view scripts easier on servers. The ISE is better though because you have both a basic script editor and a console

  As a matter of interest whey did you move to ISE, I remember you being a big PowerGUI Script editor fan much like myself, am I missing some cool functionality or is this a discussion for the podcast ?!

  I use PowerGUI editor (every day still!) for my scripts, but PowerShell ISE for interactive shell work instead of the standard console.

  Nice post Jonathan but I think you missed the most obvious path: Using powershell.exe to install ISE

  ps> import-module servermanager
  ps> add-windowsfeature powershell-ise

  I found the name of the feature with:

  ps> get-windowsfeature *ise*

  The servermanager module is actually really, really well written. Worth a podcast in itself.
