PowerShell is a versatile task automation and configuration management framework developed by Microsoft, which includes a command-line shell and a scripting language built on the .NET framework. It is specifically designed for system administrators and power users to automate the management of Windows environments and other systems, offering a wide array of cmdlets (command-lets) to manage computers directly from the command line. PowerShell allows users to perform administrative tasks both locally and remotely, such as managing system processes, configuring operating systems, and automating repetitive tasks.
