Introduction
In this module, you'll learn how to find Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to perform specific tasks. There are far too many cmdlets for you to memorize all their names. This module provides strategies and tools for finding cmdlets based on the actions they perform and the features or technologies they manage. Throughout this learning path, you'll use these strategies to identify the cmdlets that you need to complete tasks and learn how to use those cmdlets.
You'll also learn how to use Get-Help to retrieve detailed information about a cmdlet and its parameters.
