JeffHicks: ##What the story on managing non-Windows platforms with PowerShell?
PowershellJedi: Jsnover is a pit fighter
DonJ-MVP: “Server with a GUI” sounds like a crutch. Love it.
beefarino: “Server with security holes”
kobeckman: now if we could just get all the 3rd party software companies to catch up so we can remove the GUI on all our servers
DonJ-MVP: ######### Does the “Made for Windows Server 2012” logo program address GUI/nonGUI in any way, for ISVs?
JeffHicks: ##What is the future of PowerShell workflow? Where do we go next?
beefarino: ## what were the biggest issues getting the individual MS teams to migrate their management to powershell?
alexandair: ## What kind of non-Windows devices can we manage with PowerShell already?
beefarino: ## there seems to be a large gap in powershell coverage for SQL server management; any plans to address?
JasonHelmick: ## have you had a chance to relax and enjoy the success of Server 2012 Core?
Olathemike: ## does Server Manager use workflows or remoting or both to remotely execute code?
alexandair: ## Is there anything in Server Core 2012 that we cannot do remotely with PowerShell?
JasonHelmick: ## In production Server Manager is the most useful GUI tool that MS makes.
DonJ-MVP: ##### What better way than Metro to convince to you remove the GUI from the Server?!?!?
DonJ-MVP: ######### Hal, what’s been the uptake on workflow? How much of v3 workflow was intended for internal partner needs? Cuz it doesn’t seem as polished as, say Remoting – seems like “we needed this internally so we did it, and we exposed it, and it’ll probably evolve.”
beefarino: ### can the micro wbem run on an arduino?
DonJ-MVP: (BTW, anyone who isn’t aware, the PowerShell community is coming together in April, on-campus at Microsoft – http://www.powershellsummit.org – hope you can join us!)
JeffHicks: ##What PowerShell v3 feature would you want IT Pros to know about that they might not find right away?
glnsize: as the storage guy in the room… Server 2012 + smi-s works great  as a general interface.  There is always room to improve as SMI-S is a least common toolset but it works just fine.
cmille19: I wonder when we’ll see an internal Microsoft team ship a product which relies on Workflow
glnsize: ## how do we combine System Center Orchestrator and Windows 2012? Â SC2012 is the heart of the MSFT cloud, and SCO is the heart of SC2012. Â Yet SCO doesn’t leverage the V3 workflow engine… infact calling powershell from SCO is still clumbsy at best.
RichP: ## JSnover, do you work with Windows Intune at all? Â If so, are there any plans to market that to consumers? Â My family is spread across the country and it would make it much easier to assist them and keep their computers updated.
JeffHicks: ##Does Jeffrey see a day where nobody manages a physical datacenter and everything is “in the cloud”?
alexandair: ## Is there anything in Server Core 2012 that we cannot manage remotely with PowerShell?
Craig: 2012 Sounds good, but don’t see my company going there anytime soon. Â We just got up to 2010
JeffHicks: ##What will be a typical day for an IT Pro/Windows Admin in 5 years? How will this move to the cloud change their job?
JHofferle: ## I want to deploy custom remoting endpoints via group policy…any chance that’s coming?
KeithH: Has anybody asked Jeffrey about PowerShell for Windows RT yet? Â What are the limitations, etc?
JeffHicks: ##Is PowerShell Web Access the solution for mobile PowerShell management?
alexandair: ## Is there anything in Server Core 2012 that we cannot manage remotely with PowerShell?
