WhatisPowerShell?Built on the .NET Framework, PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scriptinglanguage; it is designed specifically for system administrators and power-users, to rapidlyautomate the administration of multiple operating systems (Linux, MacOS, Unix, andWindows) and the processes related to the applications that run on those operatingsystems.
Windows PowerShell introduces the concept of a cmdlet (pronounced "command-let"), asimple, single-function command-line tool built into the shell. You can use each cmdletseparately, but their power is realized when you use these simple tools in combination toperform complex tasks. Windows PowerShell includes more than one hundred basic corecmdlets, and you can write your own cmdlets and share them with other users.
