PowerShell

A task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET.

When to Use

• Windows Enterprise & Active Directory Automation: Managing Windows Server, Azure Active Directory, Hyper-V, and Exchange estates.
• Cross-Platform DevOps Automation (PS 7+): Writing cross-platform administration scripts executing identically on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Azure Infrastructure Orchestration (Az Module): Automating cloud resource deployment, subscriptions, and security compliance policies.
• Object-Oriented Pipeline Scripting: Passing structured .NET objects between commands rather than raw unstructured text streams.

Quick Start
