Powershell - Overview

Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for
system administration. It's analogue in Linux is called as Bash Scripting. Built on the .NET
Framework, Windows PowerShell helps IT professionals to control and automate the
administration of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows Server
environment.

Windows PowerShell commands, called cmdlets, let you manage the computers from the
command line. Windows PowerShell providers let you access data stores, such as the Registry
and Certificate Store, as easily as you access the file system.
In addition, Windows PowerShell has a rich expression parser and a fully developed scripting
language. So in simple words you can complete all the tasks that you do with GUI and much
more.

PowerShell ISE
The Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) is a host application for
Windows PowerShell. In Windows PowerShell ISE, you can run commands and write, test, and
debug scripts in a single Windows-based graphic user interface with multiline editing, tab
completion, syntax coloring, selective execution, context-sensitive help, and support for right-to-
left languages.

You can use menu items and keyboard shortcuts to perform many of the same tasks that you
would perform in the Windows PowerShell console. For example, when you debug a script in
the Windows PowerShell ISE, to set a line breakpoint in a script, right-click the line of code, and
then click Toggle Breakpoint.
