Task 5: Using Show-Command

Metadata information can also be used to identify the inputs needed for a specific command and to retrieve information about the command. Windows PowerShell provides a graphical aid to provide the command input.

In this task, you will learn how to retrieve and provide information needed in a graphical manner by using the Show-Command cmdlet.

1. To view the input metadata for the Get-Service command, type the following command, and then press ENTER.

PS >Show-Command Get-Service

The input metadata fields for the Get-Service command are displayed. This is also an interactive window that allows you to type the necessary fields to retrieve information from local or remote systems.

2. To view the results of Get-Service, in ComputerName, type localhost, and then click Run.

3. Review the results of the execution of Get-Service with the value for the ComputerName parameter set to localhost.

USE WINDOWS POWERSHELL, SHOW INPUT AND OUTPUT AS WELL AS A SCREEN SHOT FOR EVERY STEP MADE
