New Beta of vWorkspace PowerShell Module - complete integration PowerShell integration with SCVMM and VMware

Quest has released a new Beta of the vWorkspace PowerShell module. Here is what is new:

you can now use the vWorkspace PowerShell module (amongst other things) to:

Import virtual desktop templates, snapshots, parent VHDs, VMware Datacenters, SCVMM Clusters etc.
Add vWorkspace licenses
Manage vWorkspace Sysprep configurations

With the functionality that already was in the vWorkspace PowerShell module combined with the vWorkspace unattended installation options, you can now deploy and fully populate a vWorkspace farm with desktops completely automated!
