They say that good things come to those who wait. We have waited, and finally we are now pleased to announce that the book that I’m writing together with my collegaue Niklas Goude (http://www.powershell.nu)will be published by McGraw-Hill and will hit the stores later this year. Exactly when is not yet confirmed but I will make sure you get the information!

The title will be PowerShell for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administrators and will be a book in three parts where the majority of the book is hands on examples on how you use PowerShell to administrate SharePoint 2010. As you probably have heard, SharePoint 2010 is shipped with 500+ PowerShell cmdlets for you as an administrator. And even if STSADM is still available PowerShell is what you need to manage to make life easy further on. Those of you who had the chance to attend the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas last year might remember that one of the key things from Microsoft to administrators was -”learn PowerShell!”.

So what we want to do is to go through the fundamentals of SharePoint, PowerShell and then how you combine them to master your SharePoint 2010 environment.

The coming 5 months will be a big adventure for us, it will be fun but mostly it will be many many hours of writing and hard work. Both Niklas and I will blog about the book and how it take shape, but if you are interested in getting the latest updates, sneak peeks of the content and special offers you should sign up for our newsletter.
