Released: Property Bag Cmdlet (May 06, 2010)

This cmdlet allows to retrieve, insert and update property bag values at farm, web app, site and web scope. The same operations can be in code using Server OM. This is provided such that administrators can add/view property information into a site without a code change - not possible out of the box.
