PowerShell and SPFeature Properties

I was playing a bit around with some PowerShell. More precise “PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-SPFeature -id 14173c38-5e2d-4887-8134-60f9df889bad | fl” and I got is list of properties out.

Name	: FeatureDefinition/14173c38-5e2d-4887-8134-60f9df889bad

Cool! But what is even cooler is some of the new properties on the SPFeatureDefinition object like SolutionId, UpgradeReceiverClass and Version.

Taking a closer look of the members on the SPFeatureDefinition in the SharePoint 2010 SDK:

I’m really looking forward to make some nice IT governance with these new properties!
