WEBVTT 00:00.450 --> 00:07.560 Because Windows Power Shell has extensive built in help you can frequently learn how to use the command 00:07.590 --> 00:08.990 fairly quickly. 00:09.120 --> 00:14.700 This inclusion of usage examples for that facilitates new command usage. 00:14.700 --> 00:22.260 The trick frequently is then to find the command in the first place what command would you use to set 00:22.260 --> 00:25.610 an IP address on a network adapter. 00:25.620 --> 00:29.960 What command displays mailboxes in exchange server. 00:30.060 --> 00:34.540 What command disables an Active Directory user account. 00:34.620 --> 00:43.620 The help system together with the get command command is actually designed to facilitate command discovery 00:43.800 --> 00:52.980 windows power shell uses the generic term command to refer to come and lets functions workflows applications 00:53.220 --> 00:54.920 and other items. 00:54.930 --> 00:59.810 There are some differences in how these different items are created. 00:59.910 --> 01:04.660 But for now you can consider them to all work in the same way. 01:04.740 --> 01:12.990 First be that march of Windows PowerShares functionality comes from adding modules each of which can 01:12.990 --> 01:19.460 add more commands to the shelf capabilities when it is stored in the correct location. 01:19.470 --> 01:27.400 Windows for Shell can detect these modules even when they are not loaded into memory and can inventer 01:27.400 --> 01:29.550 Is there a whaleboat commands. 01:29.550 --> 01:38.210 This module discovery feature enables help and get command to help you discover Anik command installed 01:38.220 --> 01:39.530 on your computer. 01:39.630 --> 01:48.300 Even if the module that contains that command hasn't yet been loaded into memory when you run a command 01:48.420 --> 01:57.510 whose module hasn't yet been loaded into memory module auto login will implicitly load the module. 01:57.510 --> 02:01.240 This makes the command available for execution. 02:01.240 --> 02:09.700 The GET HELP command accepts wildcard characters notably the asterisk wildcard character. 02:09.780 --> 02:17.940 When you ask for help and to use wildcard characters with a portal command name the shell will display 02:18.060 --> 02:20.500 a list of much help topics. 02:20.520 --> 02:23.700 This helps you find commands by making guesses. 02:23.700 --> 02:28.660 So where do you start Gassan windows Polwarth shells native commands. 02:28.680 --> 02:34.400 There is those built in the shell and add it in through modules. 02:34.410 --> 02:44.470 Follow as three Namen conventions that consist of a verb or a verb like word and a singular noun list 02:44.490 --> 02:53.280 in process's for example is performed by Iranian get Does Prosser's Liston's services is performed by 02:53.430 --> 03:00.690 get dush service cretin and you service is performed by new dish service. 03:00.690 --> 03:09.060 This list of works is managed by Microsoft and can be viewed by Iran and get dush verb command as soon 03:09.060 --> 03:12.370 as you become familiar with this naming convention. 03:12.390 --> 03:16.010 You can start to make good guesses about command names. 03:16.010 --> 03:20.490 Do I need to display a list of mailboxes in exchange server. 03:20.490 --> 03:26.870 Get dush mail box might be a good guess and you can validate that by running. 03:26.950 --> 03:28.560 Help asterisk. 03:28.720 --> 03:36.720 Mailbox asterisk that will find all the commands which contain the word mailbox. 03:36.720 --> 03:43.950 Also note that the command pain in the IAC application can also be used to find commands. 03:43.950 --> 03:52.630 It lists all installed commands alphabetically and lets you type a Barcelo command name to see Merchant 03:52.640 --> 03:53.400 commands. 03:53.400 --> 04:01.380 When you make a command name gas try to stick with just the noun portion and consider just a single 04:01.380 --> 04:10.380 word singular noun for example it wound and log my big good guess is when you are trying to find a command 04:10.410 --> 04:17.300 that works with Windows and locks get command also accepts wildcard characters. 04:17.310 --> 04:20.600 This means that you can run a get command. 04:20.820 --> 04:22.640 Asterisk it wound. 04:22.640 --> 04:23.430 Asterisk. 04:23.550 --> 04:31.960 This command also has two parameters that let you specify a specific verb or noun for example. 04:31.960 --> 04:34.190 Run get command does. 04:34.300 --> 04:35.080 Noun. 04:35.250 --> 04:36.270 Event. 04:36.270 --> 04:40.390 Asterisk or get command DERSE verb. 04:40.500 --> 04:48.840 Get to see a list of commands whose known start with event or a list of commands that you use like get 04:48.960 --> 04:49.610 verb. 04:49.680 --> 04:57.030 Note that not all Tormes identified as verbs are actual English verbs. 04:57.030 --> 05:06.940 For example New is not a or in English language but it is a word Windows for shell uses to describe 05:06.940 --> 05:15.310 the operation of creating something new windows power shell uses the term verbs somewhat loosely in 05:15.310 --> 05:16.440 this respect. 05:16.450 --> 05:23.510 Sometimes you may specify a wildcard search that cannot be fulfilled by a command name. 05:23.620 --> 05:32.410 For example running help asterisk asterisk will not find any commands that have beep in their name. 05:32.470 --> 05:36.410 So their help system will conduct a full text search. 05:36.580 --> 05:44.670 All available command descriptions and synopsis this would locate any help files that contain beer. 05:44.800 --> 05:52.180 If only a single file is found with a match the help system will display it instead of showing a one 05:52.180 --> 05:53.260 item list. 05:53.260 --> 05:59.350 You can also list the command from a particular add in module. 05:59.380 --> 06:06.490 Sometimes you just want to see the commands from a specific module for example if you discover the net 06:06.580 --> 06:12.390 adapter module the name of which implies it works with network adapters. 06:12.490 --> 06:17.530 You may want to see which commands are rendered you can do this by running. 06:17.530 --> 06:26.980 For example get command DERSE model adapter that dush module perimeter restricts the command list to 06:26.980 --> 06:30.990 just those commands in their designated module. 06:31.030 --> 06:38.950 You'll frequently notice that the commands in a given module all share a common short graphics on the 06:38.950 --> 06:47.080 noun part of their command name for example commands in the net adapter module all have nouns that begin 06:47.080 --> 06:48.850 with net adapter. 06:48.910 --> 06:59.010 This non-perfect says help command names to remain unique across modules and help better identify the 06:59.020 --> 07:06.790 specific technology or component that the command to work with you can access a list of all installed 07:06.850 --> 07:15.100 modules by running get dush module Desch list available with the module names in front of you. 07:15.220 --> 07:22.960 You can easily list the commands in each module and to use help to learn how to use each command.
