- Automation of administration tasks
- Delegation of administrative tasks
- and much more...

3rd-party
3rd-party Products
If you want to integrate 3rd party products (e.g. service management, hepldesk solutions, etc.) with DSM, this is very well possible with the PSX - quasi as encapsulation of the DSM SOAP interface. Changes to the interface are "intercepted" by the PSX.

Possibilities
The question about the possibilities offered by the PowerShell Extensions (or even the Administration Webservice of the SOAP interface) can be answered something like this:
However, this answer is not completely correct, because even in the views mentioned above, DSMC sometimes still performs actions directly (i.e. "past" the administration web service) and, for example, writes the distribution targets of a package directly to the file system in the file "Project.jdf". For this reason it is not possible to define the distribution targets of a new package using the PowerShell Extensions alone.
Everything that is possible in the Management Console (DSMC) in the views "Computers & Users", "Software" as well as in "Virtual Environments" can also be executed via the Administration Webservice and thus also via the PowerShell Extensions.
