Windows PowerShell 2.0 (Standard 7 Package Reference)
7/8/2014
This package is a Feature Pack in the category Management. The name of the package as it appears on disk and for use with some command-line tools is WinEmb-PowerShell.
This package includes Windows PowerShell, the new Windows command-line shell designed especially for system administrators. Windows PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework, and accepts and returns .NET Framework objects.
Like many shells, Windows PowerShell gives you access to the file system on the computer, but Windows PowerShell providers also enable you to access other data stores, such as the registry and the digital signature certificate stores, as easily as you access the file system.
Also included are the Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) and more than 100 core cmdlets. Cmdlets are simple, single-function command-line tools built into the shell that you can use separately or in combination to perform complex tasks.
