Even though Service Manager 2010 had some CMDlets for us to utilize, there weren’t much we could do with them. In fact, we had a total of 28 CMDlets and most of these is used to do maintenance tasks or behind the scene configuration. Let’s say there were plenty of CMDlets to wish for…
Well, guess what. Microsoft must’ve felt the same way, because in Service Manager 2012, we now have a totalt of 122 CMDlets! With the combination of these CMDlets and the SMLets, we can now do pretty much anything in Service Manager using powershell! (No, these new CMDlets does not replace SMLets in any way, we’re still going to have a use for those)
Here’s a list of all the CMDlets in SCSM 2012:

I know the list is long, and maybe it really wasn’t necessary to list them all in this post – but I wanted to show you how many 122 CMDlets actually is.
Microsoft also added a task to launch a powershell session from the Service Manager console. This makes it even easier to use powershell to do certain things and it feels like they encourage us to use it aswell.
Is there a use for all this CMDlets? I don’t know, but the risk of not having a CMDlets when you need it, has certainly decreased alot! I know for sure that I’m going to use some of these new CMDlets to script the configuration of freshly installed Service Manager environments.
