In this lecture I’m going to ask you some questions from the Command Syntax Section.
We’re going to take a look at the command syntax from get-service
Fill in the blank
Question #1 Question 1 is in 6 parts, we’ll start from the left and work to the right
- Every cmdlet is based upon the same structure. A name for this structure is? ______ _______
- A dash tells PowerShell that a ____________ is being used
- Two angle brackets tells me that this a ___________
- The word string is located between two angle brackets, a string is called a ________ ________.
- When you see two square brackets surrounded by two angle brackets this tells you that this is a ________ __________ __________ __ ______
- These three groups are called __________ __________
Question #2 This question is in three parts
- Now tell me what parameters are common in each set.
- 3.You probably noticed that commonparameters arecommon to all three sets.
What command would you use to checkout the help for commonparameters?
Question #3
From the ISE, type get-service, then press return. You see the command ran.
Type get-help get-service -full. Press return.
Now explain using the syntax why get-service ran without using any parameters.
Question #4
From the ISE, type get-eventlog then press return. Notice that get-eventlog is asking for the name of one of the logfiles.
Press ctrl-c
Now type get-help get-eventlog -full.
Using the syntax, explain why get-eventlog requires typing a value or a logname, while get-service ran without a value or even a parameter.
Question #5 (CS #2) Goal:
Using help get-eventlog -showwindow. Take a look at the parameter -instanceID .
- Explain why -instanceID should be second in the order of parameters?
Question #6 (CS #2) Goal:
Let’s scroll down to -Newest.
- Why can you place –newest anywhere in the order of parameters?
