Powershell cmdlet syntax

Over the years I have been using powershell and Windows Powershell ISE as my default editor. Whenever I was stuck on not knowing the syntax for a cmdlet I would use the Commands windows and find my cmdlet then select Show Details

You will get a expanded menu of all the possible syntax/s that are for the cmdlet. Selecting the question mark then brings up more detailed information such as description, syntax and examples.

There are times where I work straight on the command line and discovered that there are equivalent commands available to help display this information

Get-Command Connect-VIServer -Syntax

This would output the syntax/s the cmdlet can accept

Another useful command to use it 

Get-Help Connect-VIServer -Examples

This would output some examples to help you on how to use this cmdlet

Below are a few more cmdlets which provides further information about a cmdlet which maybe useful

Get-Help Connect-VIServer -Detailed

Get-Help Connect-VIServer -Full

Get-Command Connect-VIServer -ShowCommandInfo
