Going forward, PowerShell will be Microsoft's preferred mechanism for managing Windows Server and other Microsoft server products. PowerShell is a command line interface in which administrative actions are performed by using cmdlets (pronounced commandlettes). Cmdlets are made up of verb-noun pairs that are separated by a hyphen. For example, if you wanted to see a list of all of the virtual machines that are running on a Hyper-V server you could use the Get-VM cmdlet. Get is the verb and VM is the noun in this case.
