Before accessing PowerShell help files, update them by running the following cmdlet in a PoSH console as Administrator:

Code:
Update-Help

NOTE: PowerShell must have internet access in order to update the PoSh help files.


To study a random PowerShell cmdlet, enter any of the following in a PowerShell console:

Code:
Get-Help -Full (Get-Command | Get-Random) | More

Get-Help (Get-Command | Get-Random) -Online

Get-Help -ShowWindow (Get-Command | Get-Random)

Show-Command (Get-Command | Get-Random)
