Navigating the Console

From PowerGUI Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

PowerGUI provides a familiar MMC-like interface where the left pane contains the nodes in the treeview, the center pane contains the associated objects, and the right pane contains the actions. Specifically, the PowerGUI console contains the following:

  • Nodes - Each node, when selected, outputs a group of objects in the central pane.
  • Objects - In PowerGUI, objects are identified by their type. When a set of objects is displayed, the available links and actions are based on the type of selected object.
  • Links - Links provide a connection from the currently selected objects to their related objects (for example, users for selected mailboxes, or permissions for selected files). Links allow you to gather more information and explore the system. This is very powerful, especially when you apply filters.
  • Actions - Actions make changes to the selected objects. Actions can be specific for the selected object or common to all objects.
  • PowerShell code - At any time you can view the underlying PowerShell code. If required, you can copy the code from there and re-use it in a command line or in your scripts.
