  It’s series of command connected by
pipeline Operators (|).
 Output of preceding command (pervious
Pipeline command) becomes input of next
command.
Operator  Example :-
Get-Service -name “Windows Update” |
stop - service
  It will select objects based on the property
value.
 Two type of Where-Object filtration

Where-Object $_ and $_.

$_ provide all property values.

$_. Provide particular property values.
 We can test a single and multiple property
values per a object
  Collection of statements or expressions that
can be used as a single unit.

Script-Block  Inside Script block whatever the Input is

should mentioned in { }.
  An alias is an alternate name for a cmdlet,
function, executable file, including scripts.
 PowerShell includes a set of built-in aliases.

Aliases You can add your own aliases to the current

session and to your PowerShell profile.
  The Select-Object cmdlet selects specified
properties of an object or set of objects. It
can also select unique objects, a specified
number of objects, or objects in a specified
position in an array.
 To select objects from a collection, use the
Select-Object First, Last, Unique, Skip, and Index
parameters. To select object properties, use
the Property parameter. When you select
properties, Select-Object returns new
objects that have only the specified
properties.
  The Get-Member cmdlet gets the members,
the properties and methods, of objects.
 The Select-Object cmdlet selects specified
properties of an object or set of objects. It
can also select unique objects, a specified
number of objects, or objects in a specified
position in an array.
 To select objects from a collection, use the
Get-Member First, Last, Unique, Skip, and Index
parameters. To select object properties, use
the Property parameter. When you select
properties, Select-Object returns new
objects that have only the specified
properties.
  The Format-List cmdlet formats the output
of a command as a list of properties in
which each property is displayed on a
separate line. You can use Format-List to
Format – List / format and display all or selected properties
of an object as a list (Format-List -Property
Table *).
  The Sort-Object cmdlet sorts objects in
ascending or descending order based on
object property values. If sort properties
are not included in a command, PowerShell

Sort-Object uses default sort properties of the first

input object.
  PowerShell provides a rich set of operators
to manipulate variables. We can divide all
the PowerShell operators into the following
groups −
 Comparison Operators
 Logical Operators
PowerShell  Arithmetic Operators

Operators 


Assignment Operators
Redirection Operators
 Spilt and Join Operators
 Type Operators
 Unary Operators
  Comparison operators let you compare
values or finding values that match
specified patterns.

PowerShell includes the following

comparison operators:
Comparison  Equality

Operators 


Matching
Replacement

  -eq, -ieq, -ceq - equals
 -ne, -ine, -cne - not equals
