Are there any cmdlets that allow me to gather info about clusters? Is there
a snap-in or is it available in powershell 2?

Thanks

In Windows Server 2008 R2 the clustering can be managed entirely from
PowerShell. See
http://blogs.msdn.com/clustering/archive/2008/12/20/9243367.aspx for more on
Failover Clustering, and
http://blogs.msdn.com/clustering/archive/2008/12/26/9253786.aspx for details
on NLB clustering.

In both cases, once the Role is loaded, additional modules are available.

Does this mean that I have to run the script from a 2008 R2 server or is
there a snapin I can add to my current install of powershell to get access to
the cmdlets?

Hi Jacob,

few months ago I wrote some jobs for clustering and easiest method I found
is to use WMI itself.

By adding the Remote Administration tools to a Win7 or Server 2k8 R2
computer, and selecting the Failover Clustering and Network Load Balancing
feature for RSAT, you will add the modules for Failover Clustering and NLB
clusters.
