• PowerShell Remoting. Windows PowerShell uses the standard management protocol WS
Management (WS-MAN) to invoke cmdlets on client PCs. It supports two types of remoting:
fan-out remoting, which provides one-to-many remoting capabilities so you can run manage-
ment scripts across multiple PCs from a single console, and one-to-one interactive remoting, for
remotely troubleshooting a specic computer.
• Script Internationalization. With Windows 7, you can easily localize messages and content for
Windows PowerShell scripts using the .NET localization model. This can be especially useful for
companies in which employees work in several different languages.
• PowerShell Restricted Shell. You can use the PowerShell Restricted Shell to create a custom
shell in which only certain commands and command parameters are available to system admin-
istrators. You can also set access permissions—or active control lists (ACLs) on custom scripts, so
that system administrators can access only scripts to which they have been granted rights. This
increases the ability to drive automation throughout an organization by enabling IT profession-
als to delegate only certain tasks.
• Automating Group Policy. With the Group Policy Management Console, which is available as
a separate download, you can use scripting to manage Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and create
and edit registry-based Group Policy settings in Windows 7. In this way, you can save time and
avoid errors when managing multiple Group Policies.
• Richer Logon Scripts. Use Windows PowerShell to create simple yet powerful logon, logoff,
startup, and shutdown scripts that are executed through Group Policy. Windows PowerShell
offers a more advanced way to congure PCs than by using simple batch les.
Group Policy Improvements
Now you can exibly manage PCs that are disconnected from the corporate network, limit which applica-
tions people can run, require removable storage devices to be encrypted, and audit user activity more
granularly. For example, organizations that use DirectAccess to provide users with seamless remote access
to corporate resources using an Internet connection also can manage remote PCs more effectively. Windows
7 also provides more comprehensive Group Policy settings so you can better congure and manage user
PCs. There are additional settings for security and data protection, and you can manage new Group Policy
scenarios using BitLocker To Go, more granular auditing, and AppLocker. In addition, an improved adminis-
trative experience for Group Policy helps you take advantage of predened best practices, further automate
activities, and use Group Policy Preferences to extend the range of managed settings.
