What is the difference between the -Name and -noun parameters in PowerShell? Who can give me some examples? Thanks for everything
PowerShell cmdlets (and functions) have a name. For example: Get-Service
Cmdlet (and function) names are a combination of an action (i.e. a 'verb') and an object (i.e. a 'noun') which are separated by a hyphen ("-").
Verbs might be "Set", "Get", "Import", "Export", etc.
Nouns might be "Service", "ADUser", "ADGroup", "ADComputer", "NetAdapter", "CSV", etc.
Combining a Verb and a Noun would produce names (choosing just from the limited choices above) like "Import-CSV", "Get-ADUser", "Set-ADComputer", etc.
So when I find Get-Command -Noun EvertLog, -Nounun is only referring to the fact of telling the Command to find the verb for the Eventlog Object right?
No, it's asking for all the cmdlets and functions that use the noun "eventlog" regardless of the verb.
