Creating a PowerShell Provider for CUCM

Ever wondered how PowerShell providers are developed? We’ll walk through the process and demonstrate an experimental PowerShell provider for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Browse CUCM users and devices through a PSDrive just like a filesystem. No scripting experience required!

GUIs are great, but sometimes we prefer the familiarity of a nice CLI such as PowerShell to interact with resources. This PowerShell provider for CUCM was developed as a hobby project to experiment with PSDrives. We’ll step through the development process then discuss lessons learned and future development.
