PowerShell cmdlets

Microsoft® Windows PowerShell® is a Windows® command-line shell and scripting language designed specifically for system administrators and built on top of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Active Administrator supports the use of PowerShell cmdlets.

What are cmdlets?

Windows PowerShell® has the concept of cmdlets. A cmdlet is a simple, single-function command that manipulates objects and is designed to be used in combination with other cmdlets.

If you already had Windows PowerShell installed on your computer before you installed Active Administrator®, the Active Administrator cmdlets were automatically installed and registered with Windows PowerShell.

The examples in this section show you leverage the cmdlets available in Active Administrator. These cmdlets allow you to perform many of the functions of Active Administrator in an automation environment. The cmdlets also can be of great use in any environment where a repetitive process involving Active Administrator is needed.

The complete set of cmdlets shipped with the module AA.ServerManagerPowerShellModule.dll is as follows.

Using Active Administrator cmdlets

PowerShell cmdlets > Using Active Administrator cmdlets

Using Active Administrator cmdlets

The Active Administrator® cmdlets function very similarly to the included utilities in the AA Server Manager application. The cmdlets are located at C:\Program Files\Quest\Active Administrator\Server\PowerShell.

Viewing help

You can view help by typing the cmdlt name with no arguments or by using get-help.

Running cmdlets

You can run the cmdlets from the PowerShell console (right-click the cmdlet, and choose Run with PowerShell) or PowerShell ISE (open the cmdlet in ISE and click Run).

Using cmdlets manually

If you want to use the cmdlets manually, you must include the two cross-cutting scripts for configuration (ConfigAndLoadModule.ps1) and rights management (EnsureElevatedPrivileges.ps1).

Example

if(-Not(&($PSScriptRoot + "\ConfigAndLoadModule.ps1"))){ exit; }

Example

if(-Not(&($PSScriptRoot + "\EnsureElevatedPrivileges.ps1") -scriptPath $myinvocation.mycommand.definition)){ exit; }

Using cmdlets to get information about the Active Administrator server

Use these Active Administrator® cmdlets to see the current settings for the Active Administrator server.

NOTE: These cmdlets use <CommonParameters>, which are a set of PowerShell® cmdlet parameters that you can use with any cmdlet.
