Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language built on .NET, developed by Microsoft for task automation and configuration management. It differs from traditional shells by passing structured .NET objects between commands (cmdlets) rather than plain text, making it powerful for system administrators managing Windows servers, Active Directory, and cloud infrastructure. It is commonly used for automating repetitive IT tasks, deploying software, and managing Windows environments at scale.
