HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - September 22, 2009) - Idera, a leading provider of management and administration solutions for Microsoft PowerShell, today announced a pack of more than 25 free, ready-to-use PowerShell scripts for managing Exchange 2007. The scripts are available for download from Idera's website and will also be posted to www.PowerShell.com, a premier PowerShell community website where users discuss PowerShell topics and share PowerShell knowledge and information.

Authored by PowerShell and Exchange 2007 expert Aleksandar Nikolic and PowerShell MVP Shay Levy, the free scripts enable administrators to automate common, everyday tasks using Windows PowerShell. With scripts ranging from bulk creation of test users, to fast provisioning of user mailboxes to simplified reporting, Idera's free Windows PowerShell scripts for Exchange 2007 are ready to use, require no customization and often perform tasks not possible in the Exchange management console.

"We went directly to the source to create these scripts for the Windows PowerShell community," said Rick Pleczko, President and CEO of Idera. "We turned to PowerShell experts and everyday Exchange 2007 users Aleksandar Nikolic and Shay Levy to author more than 25 real-world PowerShell scripts designed to instantly help IT administrators automate everyday Exchange 2007 management tasks. Whether using Idera's PowerShell Plus™ or the Windows PowerShell CLI, these new PowerShell scripts reveal the power of the Exchange management shell."
