Summary

This chapter provides an overview of PowerShell and how it has been specifically implemented in SQL Server 2012. Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into integrating PowerShell into all its server-based products, including SQL Server. Support for PowerShell in SQL Server 2012 still has a way to go before it could ever be considered the main scripting language, but the functionality available now is worth looking at.

The next chapter delves into Policy-Based Management and the options available in SQL Server 2012.
