Use batch cmdlets to complete tasks

- PowerShell offers several different ways…of working with multiple things at once.…Probably the easiest of those…is what I like to call a batch commandlet,…and you've already seen plenty of these.…Looking at a command like…help set-service…shows that this is capable of dealing with…multiple different computers at once, for example,…or multiple different services at once.…Stop-service is a great example…of a batch commandlet:…Get-service,…pipe,…stop-service.…

That will stop multiple services,…and probably crash my machine,…so we won't do it,…but that's the idea.…Anytime in PowerShell…you can get yourself to a point…where there is a commandlet to do what you need,…that's the way to do it.…That's the preferred way.…PowerShell continues to get better and better…and better and better about it.…In PowerShell Version One,…in order to reboot a bunch of computers,…it was actually kind of tedious.…But, in PowerShell Version Two…they gave us a much better way.…Help, star, reboot.…

This is a neat help trick, too, by the way.…There is no commandlet that uses the word reboot,…
