    Some key takeaways from the document include common PowerShell commands, looping structures, and outputting data to different file formats.

    Common PowerShell commands include Get-Help, Get-Command, Get-Member, New-Object, Read-Host, and more that are used to get information, create objects, and capture user input.

    In PowerShell, you can loop through objects using ForEach, For, Do, While and Until loops. The ForEach loop is commonly used to iterate through a collection of objects.

    To Execute Script powershell.exe noexit &c:\myscript.

    ps1 Miscellaneous Line Break ` Get-Process | Select-Object ` name, ID Comments # # code here not executed Merging lines ; $a=1;$b=3;$c=9 Pipe the output to another command | Get-Service | Get-Member Essential Commands To get help on any cmdlet use get-help Get-Help Get-Service To get all available cmdlets use get-command Get-Command To get all properties and methods for an object use get-member Get-Service | Get-Member Creating Objects To create an instance of a com object New-Object -comobject <ProgID> $a = New-Object comobject "wscript.network" $a.username To create an instance of a .Net Framework object. Parameters can be passed if re quired New-Object type <.Net Object> $d = New-Object -Type System.DateTime 2006,12,25 $d.get_DayOfWeek() Passing Command Line Arguments Passed to script with spaces myscript.ps1 server1 benp Accessed in script by $args array $servername = $args[0] $username = $args[1] Setting Security Policy View and change execution policy with Get-Execution and Set-Execution policy Get-Executionpolicy Set-Executionpolicy remotesigned PowerShell Cheat Sheet Arrays To initialise $a = 1,2,4,8 To query $b = $a[3] Variables Must start with $ $a = 32 Can be typed [int]$a = 32 Constants Created without $ Set-Variable name b value 3.142 option constant Referenced with $ $b Writing to Console Variable Name $a or Write-Host $a foregroundcolor green

    Capture User Input Use Read-Host to get user input $a = Read-Host Enter your name Write-Host "Hello" $a Functions Parameters separate by space. Return is optional. function sum ([int]$a,[int]$b) { return $a + $b } sum 4 5 1 Do Until Loop Can repeat a set of commands until a condition is met $a=1 Do {$a; $a++} Until ($a gt 10) ForEach - Loop Through Collection of Objects Loop through a collection of objects Foreach ($i in Get-Childitem c:\windows) {$i.name; $i.creationtime} For Loop Repeat the same steps a specific number of times For ($a=1; $a le 10; $a++) {$a} Do While Loop Can repeat a set of commands while a condition is met $a=1 Do {$a; $a++} While ($a lt 10) If Statement Run a specific set of code given specific conditions $a = "white" if ($a -eq "red") {"The colour is red"} elseif ($a -eq "white") {"The colour is white"} else {"Another colour"} Switch Statement Another method to run a specific set of code given specific conditions $a = "red" switch ($a) { "red" {"The colour is red"} "white"{"The colour is white"} default{"Another colour"} } Writing to a Simple File Use Out-File or > for a simple text file $a = "Hello world" $a | out-file test.txt Or use > to output script results to file .\test.ps1 > test.txt Reading From a File Use Get-Content to create an array of lines. Then loop through array $a = Get-Content "c:\servers.txt" foreach ($i in $a) {$i} Writing to an Html File

    Use ConvertTo-Html and > $a = Get-Process $a | Convertto-Html -property Name,Path,Company > test.htm Writing to a CSV File Use Export-Csv and Select-Object to filter output $a = Get-Process $a| Select-Object Name,Path,Company | Export-Csv -path test.csv
