A cmdlet is the smallest unit of functionality in Windows PowerShell. You can think of a cmdlet as a built-in command. You use cmdlets the same way you use any other commands and utilities. Cmdlet names are not case sensitive. This means you can use a combination of both uppercase and lowercase characters. After starting Windows PowerShell, you can enter the name of the cmdlet at the prompt, and it will run in much the same way as a command-line command. Windows PowerShell 2 contains several hundred Cmdlets. All of them are important in one way or the other, Computer Anthem has picked up 10 most important ones for our users
