Get-Alias-
complete list of available aliases
Get-Command -
that returns a list of all the PowerShell cmdlets available to you
Format-List : is
a cmdlet that takes information passed to it and then outputs that information
in list view (that is, property values are displayed on separate lines rather
than as columns in a table).
Eg:PS C:\scripts> Get-Command | Format-List
Format-Table : cmdlet
can take pretty much any information and display it as a table rather than a
list.
set-location c:\Windows
Get-ChildItem
C:\Scripts –recurse
Set-ExecutionPolicy
RemoteSigned
To run scripts from within Windows PowerShell you will need
to change your security settings; by default, PowerShell only runs scripts
signed by a trusted authority.
Get-Process
To get information about the properties and methods of an
object retrieve an instance of that object and then “pipe” the object to the
Get-Member cmdlet. For example, this command returns the properties and methods
available when working with processes: eg Get-Process | Get-Member
Get-Process
To work with or display specified properties of a
collection, pipe the returned results to the Select-Object cmdlet:
Eg Get-Process | Select-Object Name, Company
Where-Object
{$_.Length -gt 200KB} | Sort-Object
Length
To filter and sort objects . Sort-Object should typically
appear on the right-hand side of a pipeline.
Eg1:
Get-ChildItem
C:\Scripts | Where-Object {$_.Length -gt 200KB} | Sort-Object Length
eg2: Get-Service | Sort-Object Status | Format-Table
eg:3: $a = (Get-Process | Sort-Object ID)
You have a variable $a that contains a collection of data.
You can sort that data, and sidestep the pipeline altogether, by using a
command like this: eg: Sort-Object -inputobject $a
