Dell Command | PowerShell Provider: A PowerShell module that provides BIOS configuration capabilities for Dell Client computers using the Windows PowerShell Interface. (For example: Such as the OptiPlex, Latitude, Venue 11 Pro, XPS Laptop, and Precision.) This module, with its native configuration capability, makes BIOS configuration most manageable for administrators.

Note: Dell Command | PowerShell Provider can be used on Windows (Windows 7 and later) and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE 4.0 and later) operating systems.

Windows PowerShell: A tool that was intended to be more powerful than the Command Prompt for Windows and is based on the .NET Framework. This tool is intended to help users automate many administration tasks:

  • Identifying USB devices that are installed on either one or multiple computers on a network.
  • Identify, and kill processes or filter information about computers or their network in a clear HTML format.
  • It gives you the ability to create scripts and link commands together.
  • More Powerful Ways to Launch Windows PowerShell This hyperlink is taking you to a website outside of Dell Technologies.
Note: A cmdlet is a command that is used in the Windows PowerShell environment. PowerShell runtime opens these cmdlets within the context of the automation scripts that are provided at the command line. PowerShell runtime also opens them through Application Program Interfaces (APIs).
