Windows PowerShell 是微软为 Windows 环境所开发的 shell 及脚本语言技术，这项全新的技术提供了丰富的控制与自动化的系统管理能力；关于PowerShell参看易学易用的Windows PowerShell 。IronPython也是脚本语言,两种脚本语言的联姻可以解决Windows 系统管理的任务,是系统管理员的必备工具。这里有一篇文章在提醒DBA们要开始学PowerShell RTFM ：http://weblog.infoworld.com/dbunderground/archives/2007/01/rtfm.html
PowerShell托管的API为IronPython整合PowerShell提供了条件。可以在IronPython直接访问PowerShell，直接利用PowerShell的强大Shell功能。下面的例子演示了IronPython中如何使用PowerShell。
D:\IronPython\Samples\IPPowerShell>ipy -i powershell.py
Run 'dir(shell)' to get a list of available PowerShell commands!
In general, IronPython PowerShell commands are accessed using the form:
shell.get_process("cmd").select(First=2)
>>> shell.dir()
目录: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::D:\IronPython\Samples\IPPowerShel
l
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

例子代码可以从这里获取：IronPython Sample ，有一个IPPowerShell例子，下载解压后有一个IronPython script文件powershell.py文件。可以在通过在你的IronPython脚本文件中通过使用这个powershell模块来使用PowerShell，当然你要安装PowerShell。
下面我们来一起学习一下powershell.py文件：

PowerShell里面有几个对象：RunSpace，PSMethod，PSObject等，具体可以参看PowerShell SDK。这个PowerShell模块对PowerShell对象进行了一个包装成对象shell，这个对象包装了PS的cmdlets 和aliases。
