00:00:00,890 --> 00:00:02,800
We're reaching the end of our time together on

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,140
Installing and Running PowerShell.

3
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:08,100
But, I still need to show you how to run commands in

4
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,050
PowerShell, and even more importantly,

5
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:14,390
how you can figure out what you can run. Microsoft designed PowerShell

6
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:18,020
so that you can discover what to run and how to run it without having

7
00:00:18,020 --> 00:00:22,140
to resort to extensive searching online.

8
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:24,080
For many people new to PowerShell,

9
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,380
they open up a new session and then stare at that blinking cursor.

10
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:30,840
It just sits there, just daring them to type something.

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,220
But what? What can I do in a PowerShell session?

12
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:37,440
What can I do in this PowerShell session?

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,940
How can I even figure out what I can do?

14
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,540
This is the proverbial "I don't know what I don't know" paradox.

15
00:00:43,540 --> 00:00:47,640
So let us show you how to discover what commands you can run and

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,200
hopefully at least get you kick started to using PowerShell.

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,660
Now, of course,

18
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:55,140
this leads to a question which you may not have even

19
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:59,240
considered, what exactly is a PowerShell command?

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,600
As you learn PowerShell,

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,270
you'll encounter several terms, so I think I need to take

22
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:09,000
a few minutes here to show you what these things are so you understand what's what.
