Package and deploy your solutions.

Package your scripts as stand-alone solutions for your users, create MSI databases for GPO distribution, and run your custom deployment commands, all from the same environment where you create them.

CIM Explorer

Get a handle on CIM classes and their properties and methods.

Browse remote machines

Connect to any machine in your network and browse, search, or query its CIM database. All namespaces, classes, properties,s and methods are cached locally so you can browse even when you are not connected.

Access all CIM information

You have full access to all the help and documentation that the CIM provider stores in the database.

Search everything

A large number of options enable you to search any particular class or namespace as well as the entire database. Limit the search to the elements you need, or search everything.

Filter out the noise.

Advanced filter options allow you to limit the classes you see, making browsing and scanning for the desired objects much easier. Custom filters can adapt the current view to your needs at any moment.

Query data

Browsing properties and methods of a class is not always enough. The underlying data can be just as important. The multi-threaded query functions allow you to query by class, specific properties, or with custom WQL expressions. Getting the PowerShell code for your query is just a click away.

Export results

CIM queries can yield a large amount of data that needs to be processed in other applications or tools. CIM Explorer provides you with four common file formats to export your query results: HTML, XML, CSV and plain text.

Generate code

For each class or property, you automatically get the correct code to query your selection in PowerShell or VBScript. CIM Method calls are shown with PowerShell sample code specifying parameters in their correct order. All that information is displayed alongside the documentation for the object.

VersionRecall

The simplest way to manage multiple versions of files on your computer.

So easy to use

The simple and quick setup lets you select a folder that VersionRecall will manage as well as a “backup location” where your previous versions will be stored (usually on an external drive or network drive). From that point on, work as you usually do, saving the file locally, and when you are ready, simply submit the file using VersionRecall Explorer or our Windows Explorer integration. Or, set up VersionRecall for automatic submission at a predetermined time.

Trouble-free backups

Do you create backups by dragging folders to a NAS, network drive, CD, or by making zip files? VersionRecall lets you do that with the simple push of a button. No need to change how you backup, just make it easier!

Windows Explorer Integration

Our VersionRecall Explorer application is full of functionality, but sometimes you just need it super simple and easy. With our Windows Explorer integration, you can submit a version of your file with just a few mouse clicks.

Built-in File Comparison

So now you have multiple versions of your file and want to know how they are different. Use the integrated file comparison tool to see where your versions differ and even merge in selected differences

PowerShell HelpWriter

The first professionally designed environment for writing and editing PowerShell help files.

Complete Help Editor UI

Features a dynamic editor that guides you through the process of writing complete and accurate help topics for all of your commands.

Generate help files from modules

No need to start from scratch. PowerShell HelpWriter analyzes your module and generates starter help files that match the cmdlet code.

Manage module help files

Use a module project to manage and edit multiple help-xml and about help files. Refresh the module’s help content with a press of a button.

Real-time Spell Checking

PowerShell HelpWriter provides real-time spell checking as you write.

Help Matches the Code

PowerShell HelpWriter generates starter help topics from the code in any command of any type, including individual commands and commands in a module. No need to figure out the cmdlet attribute or parameter attribute values, inputs or outputs. And, the help always matches the code.

Edit in XML

Whenever you need it, you can view or edit the help file in the built-in XML editor. The PowerShell HelpWriter XML editor is a complete XML editor—not just a read-only viewer.

Edit existing help files

Edit existing help files in the PowerShell Help Writer editor UI or as XML. Add or delete parameters, including dynamic parameters.

Create help files from scratch

Use the PowerShell HelpWriter editor to create help from scratch for new or existing modules.

Convert comment-based help to PSMAML

Generates starter help from existing help in your new PSMAML files, including comment-based help for functions.

Markdown and HTML Export

Export cmdlet help and about topics to markdown or HTML.

Design before coding

Write help for a module before the code is written as a code specification. Once the help is written, use PowerShell Studio’s New Module from Help File feature to automatically generate the module’s code.

Validate PSMAML Files

All help files conform to the PSMAML schema for PowerShell help files. Use the Validate Help Schema feature to validate any file. PowerShell HelpWriter will autocorrect common structural issues in order to comply with the MAML help schema.

PowerShell ModuleManager

The essential tool for managing all PowerShell modules on your machine.

Remote Module Management

Keep track of your remote connections and manage modules on remote machines.

Publish Modules

Share modules by publishing them to online repositories like the PowerShell Gallery.

Search and Filter

Search and filter through modules you currently have installed. Sort through modules by Status, Name, Author, or Description.

Manage Repositories

PowerShell ModuleManager makes managing repositories simple. Update, publish, and source locations of existing repositories, or add a new repository. If you don’t use a repository anymore, then delete it.

View Detailed Module Information

PowerShell ModuleManager allows you to easily see module information such as descriptions, release notes, version information, tags, dependencies, and commands.

Search Repositories

Search different repositories for modules by name, tag, command, or filter. See module information before installing a new module from a repository.

Module Status

Every PowerShell module found in the PSModulePath variable is given a status to help you identify and differentiate between system modules to modules that have updates.

Disable Modules

If you are not sure you want to uninstall a particular version of a module, then try disabling it. Disabling moves that version to a separate folder where you can later re-enable.

Check for Module Updates

It’s easy to keep modules current—when PowerShell ModuleManager launches, the application will indicate if updates are available for installed modules

Manage Module Versions

PowerShell ModuleManager can help to prevent version confusion by removing duplicates and outdated versions of modules.

Move Modules

If a module is installed in the wrong location, move the module to any location defined in the PSModulePath variable.

PrimalSQL

Making database query development and testing a snap, regardless of your database type or vendor.

Database Vendor Independence

PrimalSQL is not constrained by a specific database vendor. You can connect to Microsoft SQL Server just as easily as you connect to Oracle, MySQL, or even Microsoft Access. This gives you independence AND flexibility working with whatever databases you need access to.

Mix connections

PrimalSQL lets you connect to any number of databases, mixing vendors and connection types, simultaneously! Enjoy the flexibility of being able to create multiple connections to different databases at the same time.

Live Query and Edit

You have created a new database,e and now it’s time to test it. Or maybe you just need to develop some new queries for the accounting department. With PrimalSQL’s live query and data editing support, ad-hoc queries and testing are even easier than ever.

Export Results

Now that you have gotten the results that you need, you need to present them to whoever requested those results. PrimalSQL enables you to easily export the query results to HTML, XML, CSV, or Text for further processing or presentation.

Visual Query Builder

Not a DBA? Can never remember those long table and field names that your database team insists are “self-documenting”? Forgot how to structure that one query you use every two months? Not to worry – with PrimalSQL, you can create complex queries without expert SQL knowledge using PrimalSQL’s Query Builder interface.

Edit Queries as te.xt

That very same query that you create with PrimalSQL’s Visual Query Builder can be edited as SQL text in the SQL Edit Pane. Jump back and forth between visual editing and text editing for even more power and flexibility.

Edit Stored Procedures

PrimalSQL also enables you to edit and create views and stored procedures in an easy-to-learn environment. Simply select the stored procedure you want to edit, make your changes, and save it back to the database. Use the built-in SQL PrimalSense to make writing and editing your procedures even easier.

Quick Script Generation

Need to use a database query in a PowerShell or VBScript script? With the click of a button, PrimalSQL enables you to export your query as PowerShell or VBScript, either to the clipboard for pasting into PrimalScript (or any other editor) or to a file for later use.

PrimalXML

A practical tool that simplifies your XML file management.

Automatic Syntax Coloring

PrimalXML will automatically syntax color your XML files for you. This makes it easier to identify and differentiate elements, attributes and values at first glance. It also allows for easier editing of your XML content.

Ribbon Interface

PrimalXML uses the simplified ribbon interface. All of the commands are easy to locate and at your fingertips. Dockable panes in the UI allow for easy customization of the window elements.

Validate XML files against a Schema file

It’s easy to use PrimalXML to validate your XML data files against an XML Schema file. This helps keep your XML document in conformance. With the click of a button, you can assign an XSD file to use for validity checking, and PrimalXML will output clear information about the document’s validity and any error messages.

Element Viewer

Use PrimalXML’s Element Viewer to quickly edit element attributes isolated from the rest of your XML. Or you can edit XML objects directly in the document view. PrimalXML’s editor is not just a simple text editor; it understands XML and lets you edit your XML content as objects. For more secure editing, use the Edit Attribute Values Only Mode which prevents the user from inadvertently altering the XML structure.

Auto-formatting of XML

With PrimalXML, you have the option of letting PrimalXML automatically format your XML file on opening, or you can open a file in its original format and then optionally request PrimalXML to format the document for you.

Fast Element Navigation

PrimalXML allows you to navigate your XML files in several different ways. Navigate elements via tree view or quick keys. Perform a Find on text or XML element objects. Even use Goto Line Number if you know the approximate location of the item that you are looking for.

XML PrimalSense

PrimalXML enhances your editing abilities with PrimalSense for XML elements, attributes, attribute values, and special characters codes (e.g., &). As you type, PrimalSense understands what you are typing and makes appropriate suggestions to quickly complete the current statement. With PrimalXML you have the power to customize the PrimalSense for use with your custom XML files and extensions. Define custom elements, attributes, and attribute values to fit your personal needs.
