PowerShell
PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language for inspecting and administering computers.
PowerShell instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.
Which PowerShell guide should I start with?
Start with PowerShell basics if you are learning commands and their output. Choose the file, network or WMI/CIM guide for a specific task. Read a command and its parameters before running it, especially when it changes files, services or system settings.
Does a local PowerShell command automatically run on a remote PC?
No. A local command runs in the current session unless you explicitly use a remote mechanism. PowerShell remoting needs its own setup and authorization. Follow the remoting guide and confirm the target computer before performing a change.
