The Power of POSH and Get-Help

  • Article

If you ever find yourself yearning to break into Powershell for extending your technological tendrils into areas normally reserved for C++ or C# developers then you'll want to leverage the Power of the Get-Help Powershell cmdlet.

Example: Let's say you want to list all and any cmdlets that contain 'ADFS' or that mention 'ADFS' anywhere in the associated help:

Update-Help

Get-Help *ADFS*

- or -

Get-Help *LDAP*

Once you have figured out which cmdlet you want to run you can then typically append the -example option to get some sample code for each cmdlet.
