how about a version for those that have windows 7... This was so close to what I wanted to do, it just didn't work because I'm using WES7

@ Jon P: No, something similar came up when Server 2008 R2 came out. It had several built-in modules, and these were not part of the core PowerShell features, so they were never made available for Server 2003 or Server 2008 even if PowerShell v2 was installed. In other words, only core features are available with PowerShell v3 in down-level releases. In some cases, it simply comes down to the APIs not being available. For Windows 7, this would have to be a community-based effort to wrap existing APIs into PowerShell.

I just installed Powershell 3.0 and went to try and play with the NetAdapter cmdets, only to discover that they are apparently Win8 only. Is there any plan to release those cmdlets as a Win7-compatible module?
