Safe usage notes

  • Do not use critical commands such as Remove-Item, Stop-Process or Set-ExecutionPolicy without review.
  • Many PowerShell commands support -WhatIf. This can often test an action before it is executed.
  • Output about networking, users, system information or event logs can contain sensitive data.
  • For lasting scripts, full cmdlet names are usually easier to understand than aliases.
