I'm a big Console2 fan, and I've recently been introduced to the power of PowerShell. Is it possible to have the latter (aka the PowerShell interpretive shell) inside the former?
It is a scripting language and associated with Windows OS, eventually its available as an open-source utility. It is a useful utility for windows administrators to automate the repetitive task through scripting to increase efficiency. It is a command-line utility that supports the PowerShell scripts.
What is the best alternative to Console2? FireCMD supports command auto-completion. Once you start typing a command, you can press the tab key to auto-complete it. Although there's a free trial available, FireCDM is not free and costs $29. FireCMD allows users to create up to 500 aliases.
You can also manage your Microsoft 365 services, such as Exchange Online, Teams, and SharePoint Online. If you instead use PowerShell to manage these services, you can and take advantage of the command-line and scripting language environment for speed, automation, and additional capabilities.
It is a very helpful tool for network administrators, as they work with the active directory. It has many commands which are customizable, called as cmdlets which can help them in becoming more productive. What is the difference between PowerShell and PowerShell ISE?
In Console2 settings, set the shell to:
%SystemRoot%\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Because for something this simple a blog post is not an answer.
Yeah, that is what I use. ( Update - Nowadays, I use ConEmu)
