I've been doing some configuring of my SP2010 test-bench. This involves configuring service applications with PowerShell scripting.
I found a superb reference in http://www.todd-carter.com/post/2010/04/26/The-Wizard-Likes-His-GUIDs.aspx to script creating applications!
One error I stumbled upon while running the script was:
"The term 'New-SPExcelServiceApplication' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" (a similar arror occured with Access services... figures...)
Hmmm, I thought my Enterprise CAL was enough... IT IS! But: somehow my installation was mixed up with confusion. It said in SCA that the Enterprise CAL was used. After a lot of digging, I found out that I had to go into "Upgrade and Migration" --> "Enable Features on Existing Sites":

In the "Enable Features..." page you have to check the "Enable all site in..." option and press OK

Wait for the upgrade to finish, and violá: the term 'New-SPExcelServiceApplication' is now available!
