PowerShell Scripting Classes
Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language designed to assist you in managing a Windows environment. Built on the .Net framework, PowerShell allows you to control the Windows operating system and the applications that run on Windows. PowerShell commands are called cmdlets and give you command-line access to Windows. PowerShell is also a complete scripting language.
Using PowerShell, you can access and manage the registry, processes, event logs, and other data stores. PowerShell allows you to do simple tasks such as set the date and time as well as execute commands or scripts to copy, delete, or rename files/folders. You can compare two text files, run a program, or change an Active Directory attribute for thousands of users at a time with one command. Finally, PowerShell gives you the capability to do more advanced tasks or potentially destructive tasks that cannot be done from the command line.
