Chapter 16. Working with many objects, one at a time
The whole point of PowerShell is to automate administration, and that often means you’ll want to perform some tasks with multiple targets. You might want to reboot several computers, reconfigure several services, modify several mailboxes, and so on. In this chapter, you’ll learn three distinct techniques for accomplishing these and other multiple-target tasks: batch cmdlets, WMI (and other object) methods, and object enumeration. Also, you should know that most of the examples in this chapter won’t work on Linux or macOS; they’re (at least currently) Windows-only. But the concepts and techniques here are the same regardless of the OS you’re using.
