Q

Cmdlets

A

Cmdlets are commands that an administrator enters at the PowerShell prompt to perform system management tasks.
The PowerShell command-line interface uses simple command construction, typically in the form of: [verb]-[noun]-[adverb]. For example:
New- or Add- or Install- will create a new entity.
Get- is used to retrieve information about an existing entity.
Set- is used to make a change to an existing entity.

When using PowerShell cmdlets, keep in mind the following:
The cmdlets are usually not case-sensitive.
When using PowerShell to turn on features, use the same case indicated in the cmdlet help.
PowerShell cmdlets are designed to be lightweight, easy to recognize, and easy to use.
Use the TAB key to cycle through the available options. Type a PowerShell verb followed by a hyphen (for example, New-) and press the TAB key again and again to cycle through the options. This feature is called tab completion.
Installing new services and features on a Windows server may also install additional PowerShell modules that contain cmdlets required to manage the newly added services and features.
