Microsoft created PowerShell to make system tasks automatic, like batch processing, to build system management mechanisms for generally IMPLEMENTED processes. The PowerShell language is quite similar to PERL and delivers different ways to automate tasks:

• One way is with cmdlets, which are MINIATURE in nature .NET classes emerge as system commands;
• Another way is with scripts, these are an amalgamation of cmdlets and associated logic;
• It can be done with executables, these are stand-alone mechanisms
• Also with the embodiment of standard .NET classes.

Admins can employ PowerShell to MANAGE a broad range of activities like it can pull information on Operating Systems, as the particular VERSION and service pack levels. "PowerShell providers" are programs that enable data included in specialized data stocks available at the command line. Those data stores contain Windows file system drives. PowerShell also acts as the substitute for Microsoft's Command Prompt, which goes way back to DOS. For example, Microsoft turned PowerShell the default command-line interface (CLI) for Windows 10 as of build 14791. PowerShell's function as a command-line shell is how most consumers become familiarized with the technology.
