Here’s a quick update to break the silence: while browsing Twitter this morning, I came across a link that should be interesting for us PowerShell aficionados. It turns out that trying to use the 64-bit SharePoint assemblies from a 32-bit PowerShell host might not work. While the fix is trivial, the error message is certainly misleading: it looks as if the web application can’t be accessed. Read the full story in the original post.

As for the next full-length episode in my PowerShell excursion, the post is in the works, but I ran into some rather depressing limitations in the type extension mechanism. I’m still pondering whether it’s worth the effort to try and work around them.
