How Can PowerShell Up Your IT Admin Skills

PowerShell is a Microsoft-native cross-platform object-based scripting language. The major benefit to PowerShell over other scripting languages is the object-based framework PowerShell is built on. PowerShell is developed on the .NET framework returning .NET objects based on PowerShell requests. The incredible benefit of this object-based framework is the returned object can encompass much more information compared to the standard command-line returned information.

Two great benefits of getting onboarded with PowerShell is Alias support and the Get-Help cmdlet. Aliases allow users who are experienced in other scripting languages to enter commands in that scripting language and PowerShell will translate and return the targeted object. And for those users brand new to PowerShell, the Get-Help cmdlet will provide articles and allow you to view PowerShell documentation online to ensure you are properly supported while getting on-boarded with PowerShell.
