Windows Powershell Tips

I was working with Windows Powershell for last few months. Here I would like to share with you some of the tips and techniques I have done through my project.

If you want to unzip a file to a location,

$shell=New-Object -com shell.application

$zip=$shell.NameSpace("D:\dev\shell\myfile.zip")

foreach($item in $zip.Items())

{

    $shell.NameSpace("D:\dev\shell\").copyhere($item)

} 

Execute following command in destination machine to enable accepting remote connections

Enable-PSRemoting 

If you want to see your Powershell Version

Get-PSSessionConfiguration -Name Microsoft.PowerShell
