Can you tell me the most basic Windows PowerShell commands?” I will not necessarily take the time to tell them that they are probably asking about cmdlets, not commands. If they ask something like, “I know nothing about Windows PowerShell. For example, often people will come to me after I have spoken at a conference (such as the IT Pro Camp in Jacksonville where Teresa and I will be speaking this Saturday). When I am writing my Windows PowerShell books (such as my book, Windows PowerShell Best Practices), I tend to call a collection of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that are strung together to accomplish a specific task in a Windows PowerShell command.īut at other times, I actually vary my answer according to what I perceive to be the level of expertise of the questioner. When a person asks about Windows PowerShell commands, are they really talking about native Windows PowerShell commands (such as the language statements For, Foreach, or Switch)? Or are they talking about Windows PowerShell cmdlets? Or are they talking about a string of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that taken together become a unique Windows PowerShell command? Other times, I will answer what I think their question is and be done with it. At other times, I will directly answer the question, and then suggest a better way to accomplish what I think the goal is. Certainly, for example, I would use Get-Process to retrieve process information on my local computer-unless there was something that WMI would do differently or provide an alternate capability.Īt times, I will clarify a person’s question, intention, and goals. For example, it may be that the best way to accomplish a specific task is to not use WMI, but to use “native Windows PowerShell” functionality. What do I mean? Well, I recently received a question from a person who wanted to know how to “use WMI to do xyz…” Some questions are simply confusing, and other questions can be misleading, or even wrong. ![]() Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.

This book is now offered for free, but my hope is that you'll consider making a small donation to help bootstrap others into the industry. All currently supported versions of Windows and previous versions of PowerShell beginning with PowerShell version 1.0 are briefly mentioned in this book. This book focuses on PowerShell version 5.1 in a Microsoft Active Directory domain environment running on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. ![]() It’s a collection of what I wish someone would have told me when I started learning PowerShell along with the tips, tricks, and best practices that I've learned while using PowerShell during the past 10 years. Instead of a book that just covers topics with fictitious scenarios, this book is more of a condensed version targeting the specific topics that I’ve found an IT Pro needs to know initially to be successful with PowerShell in a real world production environment. Before PowerShell, I spent the first third of my career as an IT Pro pointing and clicking in the GUI and I decided to write this book to save IT Pros from themselves who are reluctant to learn PowerShell. ![]()
