Once you begin writing or using scripts, though, you should configure this policy to something less restrictive. 1. ) sometimes stumble on is running commands from the current directory. exe, the current directory is considered part of the path: the list of directories that Windows searches to find the program name you typed. exe looks in C:\Programs (among other places) for applications to run.

7 Find a Command to Accomplish a Task Problem You want to accomplish a task in PowerShell but don’t know the command or cmdlet to accomplish that task. Solution Use the Get-Command cmdlet to search for and investigate commands. To get the summary information about a specific command, specify the command name as an argument: Get-Command CommandName To get the detailed information about a specific command, pipe the output of GetCommand to the Format-List cmdlet: Get-Command CommandName | Format-List To search for all commands with a name that contains text, surround the text with asterisk characters: Get-Command *text* To search for all commands that use the Get verb, supply Get to the -Verb parameter: Get-Command -Verb Get To search for all commands that act on a service, use Service as the value of the -Noun parameter: Get-Command -Noun Service Discussion One of the benefits that PowerShell provides administrators is the consistency of its command names.

In addition to allowing you to customize the job name, the Start-Job cmdlet also lets you launch the job under alternate user credentials or as a 32-bit process (if run originally from a 64-bit process). Once you have launched a job, you can use the other Job cmdlets to interact with it: Get-Job Gets all jobs associated with the current session. Wait-Job Waits for a job until it has output ready to be retrieved. Receive-Job Retrieves any output the job has generated since the last call to Receive-Job.
