PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time 22 Enable-ComputerRestore

Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Enable-ComputerRestore cmdlet.

What can I do with it?

Enable the System Restore feature on the specified drive.

Example:

Enable System Restore on the local C drive.

Enable-ComputerRestore -drive “C:\”

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

You could have used the SystemRestore WMI class and the Enable method

$SystemRestore = [wmiclass]"\\.\root\default:systemrestore" $SystemRestore.Enable(“c:\”)
