PowerShell Documentation

Welcome to the PowerShell-Docs repository, housing the official PowerShell documentation.

  • /jea/ is for the Just Enough Administration feature
  • /reference/ is for PowerShell conceptual topics and module reference across versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0
    • This content will be retrieved by the Get-Help cmdlet in the future
