Shell Add-Ins and Modules
I only include add-ins that are v2 compatible. "Free" in the list below means "free as in beer;" these cost nothing for you to download and use, although they are not necessarily open source.
Free
- Quest AD Cmdlets - manage 2003+ AD from within PowerShell
- PowerShell Community Extensions - numerous cmdlets, functions, etc.
- SQL Server Extensions - manage SQL Server from PowerShell (wrapper around SMO)
- Isolated Storage Provider - access .NET Isolated Storage as a drive
Commercial
- SDM Software makes PowerShell-enabled tools for GPO management
Developer-Focused
These ones are primarily of interest to developers or pretty hardcore scripters.
- PSScriptProvider - build PSProviders (used to map PSDrives) entirely in script.
- NetCmdlets - The current release contains more than 30 Cmdlets providing access to network and host protocols such as SNMP, LDAP, DNS, Syslog, HTTP, WebDav, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, Rexec/RShell, Telnet, and more.
