What is Windows PowerShell?

Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's successor of the old DOS command prompt. It's a command shell and scripting language based on Microsoft.Net. The name sounds exaggerated, but the shell is powerful. You have the full Microsoft.Net class library available. Filesystem, Registry, WMI, Windows Performance Counter, Windows Eventlog, databases, active directory. It's all covered. Microsoft no longer releases any Windows server product without PowerShell support.

Wikipedia has some details about the shell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell

What is a Windows PowerShell module?

A module is an easy to install package of PowerShell commands, scripts, aliases, etc. You get a bunch of files to copy into a well-known folder on your hard disk, enter "import-module <modulename>" in your shell and you're ready to go.

What can I do with the IpPbx Powershell Module?

Theoretically you're able to configure everything what's is possible to configure with SwyxWare Administration. In practice you need to have PowerShell commands, called Cmdlets to make it easy to use the Swyx CDS API inside the shell. Here are some tasks you could do with the module:

• You can retrieve user objects, filter, sort, list them, make changes. You can create users, set there properties, delete them, add or remove them to/from groups.
• You can create, edit or delete trunks, trunk groups, routing records
• Import or update SwyxWare users from another data source like a database, csv file, active directory.
• Logoff users
• Retrieve or set standard redirections
• Retrieve or set users rich presence status or status text
• Retrieve or set users settings (e.g. speed dial keys)
• Because CDS API can be used via a network you can run PowerShell on a separate system and manage one or more SwyxWare instances.

There are probably a lot more we just cannot imagine right now.
