Microsoft Fast PowerShell Cmdlets

December 13, 2009

No, I didn’t know what this cmdlets word meant either. But if you are one of the lucky folks using SharePoint 2010 Fast Search, you may want to read “FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint Windows PowerShell Cmdlets Overview (Beta)”.

The summary of the document says:

This document provides an overview of when to use which Windows PowerShell cmdlets in FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint in the functional areas: administration, schema, spell tuning, and security.

There is a hitch. I have not been able to read the document because I see this message:

download error

I did some poking around on Bing and learned that Bing pointed to this same dead link. I then navigated to the Google’s Microsoft search index and learned that its pointer resulted in the same dead end. I sure hope that the Microsoft Fast search engine can find its cmdlets. I couldn’t. Sort of a search mystery.

I wish to disclose that no one paid me to write this. Now who is on oversight duty on Saturday at 1800 hours. Oh, I remember. I must report this to the Jefferson Country Animal Protection Agency. Stray dogs, like errant download links, are a nuisance.

    Hi Stephen,

    I found that if you use the “What Others Are Downloading” links at the bottom of the page to navigate to another document (e.g. FAST 2010 deployment and config) and then use the “What Others Are Downloading” link on that page to go to the the original Cmdlets doc, then the download links will work.

    I hadn’t heard of Cmdlets either, but I couldn’t see how they were much different from batch files (from the olden days) – albeit with new 21st century branding.

    Cheers
    Justin
