TechEd 2010 Australia is approaching at a rapid pace and this year I have a speaking position. I will be talking on the topic of "PowerPivot: How, Why & When" doing some contrasting between PowerPivot and SSAS. And giving my opinions on where PowerPivot should be positioned in the Microsoft BI landscape. This will be happening at 3.30pm next Thursday.

Even if you don't manage to catch my talk you should be able to find me hanging around the SQL Server area in the exhibition hall.

  • backup-ASDatabase
  • clear-ASCache
  • get-ASConnection
  • get-ASRole
  • restore-ASDatabase
It also includes a Powershell v2 .psd1 module file and includes the option to just download a zip file which can be copied into a folder your modules folder. So you can now install PowerSSAS without needing to have admin privileges. There are instructions on installing PowerSSAS as a v2 module here.

I have also done some preliminary testing against SQL Server 2008 R2 and the 2008 files appear to work fine.

This release also fixes an issue with the dependencies that caused the 2008 version of PowerSSAS to look for the 2005 version of AMO.

You can get it from the downloads page of the codeplex site http://powerSSAS.codeplex.com
