There's a new NetCmdlets v2 build out HERE. See the page for details.
NOTE: The built-in help with this build doesn't work with the PowerShell v2 CTP (only tested this on XP). You'll have to use the provided .CHM help file or use PowerShell v1.
I will be doing a presentation on this snapin next week at the UK PowerShell UG announced HERE.

Restricted runspaces in v2 CTP2
In the recent PowerScriting Podcast Episode 33 – Cage Match: PowerScripting vs. Quest, a question came up as to whether restricted runspaces was something that was available in CTP2.
In a recent presentation at my virtual user group Wassim Fayed from Microsoft presented restricted runspaces briefly HERE (wath the entire Wassim_2.wmv video).
It is available in CTP2, however, Wassim demonstrated the functionality using a Invoke-Command parameter that isn't in the current public build (-FilePath), therefore, a scriptblock would have to be built.
Here's a very basic demonstration where I restrict my *current* runspace on a Server 2008 system:
PS>get-help
#Works fine
PS>(get-command get-help).visibility="private"
#I have removed visibility to the get-help cmdlet.
PS>get-help
#Errors out
The term 'Get-Help' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file. Verify the term and try again.

PowerShell/Viso update
I blogged recently about a Japanese PowerShell/Visio tool HERE.
I got word yesterday that they are, in fact, working on a English version now. I can't provide any more specific details, but hope we see something soon!

PowerShell scripting from Visio
I came across this Visio/PowerShell tool, after following a link in a comment on the PowerShell team blog.
I managed to track down a Japanese contact who mentioned he had heard there may already be some discussions happening with Redmond with regards to this tool. He's going to try to contact some of his sources, and get an update on this soon.
Last resort, he may try to help translate it into English.

PowerShell Dashboard is now on Codeplex
PowerShell Dashboard, which I blogged about HERE now has a home on Codeplex HERE.
From the Codeplex site:
"PowerShell Dashboard is a modular IT administration web portal based on Dropthings (http://www.codeplex.com/dropthings) and other open source solutions and controls like Visifire (http://www.visifire.com)."

I recently announced a new CTP build of the new WinRM 2.0 CTP HERE.
I recently indicated that I was able to install this CTP2 *over* CTP1 on Server 2008, Server Core 2008 (actually over WinRM 1.1 in this case), and also I just successfully tested Vista SP1.

Just a note on my MVP award
D'oh! I've done a few things online last week and also published a few PowerPoint presentations and Live Meeting recordings, where I mis-stated a detail regarding my MVP award...
I was awarded in October 2007, not October 2008... I'm hoping that I do get re-awarded though!

TechNet Magazine article: complimentary webcast
Along with my TechNet Magazine article just published which I mention HERE, I have posted a webcast HERE that goes along with the article that shows some of the things that are covered in the article.
TechNet Magazine article: Windows PowerShell in System Center Operations Manager
The article I wrote is now ONLINE! HERE.
Many thanks to the magazine editor and Roger Sprague from the Microsoft OpsMgr team for helping put this together and making it through the editing process. The article also gives credit to everyone that helped out including Pete Zerger (MOM MVP). Also, a special thanks to Stefan Stranger from Microsoft also, who blogged about the article HERE.
Check it out! It compliments some recorded sessions I recently did HERE.
