Week 36 of my MCSE studies was another step towards my goal of becoming an MCSE. I knew going into the week that it would be tough to top last week, and I was correct. It was difficult to maintain that laser focus that is required to exceed 30 hours of studying in a week. It was not a bad week by any stretch, just not as productive as the previous week. It was a quite simply, a week full of review work as I prepare for the 70-410 exam.
Cool Stuff
As last week was a review week, there wasn't anything that stands out as being particularly cool or interesting.
PowerShell cmdlet of the Week
This week, I picked a cmdlet that I learned about some time ago, but forgot just how useful it really is.
Show-Command
This cmdlet will allow you to pop open a dialog box that gives you a handy form to fill out the parameters, parameter switches, and other information for a given cmdlet.
In this example, I used the following command to bring up the dialog for Get-Service
Get-Command Get-Service
I then filled out the ComputerName and Name fields as show below:
At this time, I can choose to either run the command, or copy it to the console. In my case, I simply chose to run the command. This returned the status of the DHCP Client on the server PS-MEMBER01.
For those of you wondering about the tabs along the top, those allow you to select from the various parameter sets available in the cmdlet.
