For example, there are 10 different cmdlets that all affect mailbox items. Here are examples of just
a few of these cmdlets:
Get-Mailbox is used to retrieve information about one or more mailbox - enabled users.
Set-Mailbox is used to change configuration settings for one or more mailbox - enabled users.
New-Mailbox is used to create a new mailbox - enabled user.
Move-Mailbox is used to move one or more mailboxes from one mailbox database to another.
As you can see, these examples all use a common noun name, yet each cmdlet yields very different
results when it is coupled with a different verb name.
Parameters
Parameter names are preceded by a dash or hyphen ( - ) and can be made up of a single word or multiple
words with no spaces between them. Parameter names are typically followed by one or more values that
are used either to provide input data for setting property values or to dictate the behavior of the cmdlet.
Parameters that dictate behavior act as switches and typically do not require an input value.
Parameters have certain characteristics that determine how they are used. You can find out these
characteristics via the built - in help information for each cmdlet that is readily available from the
command line. Later this section covers how to get help and how to interpret that information to
know how to use parameters effectively.
