Here are some of the more popular useful Microsoft Power Shell commands I have had to use of late, along with MS-DOS commands in coordination and in tandem.
Set-Local User Accounts (make sure the password does not start with a $ symbol)
C:\Windows\System32>powershell -executionpolicy bypass -command "set-localuser -Name LocalUsername -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'NewPassword' -AsPlainText -Force) -AccountNeverExpires:$true -PasswordNeverExpires:$true"
Pause the System for so many seconds (e.g. 60 seconds)
c:\windows\system32\TimeOut 60
Mount Volume (specifically the system volume to manipulate it; make sure Y: is not already in use)
...Mount the System Volume as Y: drive letter
c:\mountvol y: /s
...manipulate the volume contents (e.g. md, rd, del, ren, etc.), then remove/delete the mounted volume
c:\mountvol y: /d
Disk Partition (e.g. to wipe a drive before re-installing Windows, during Setup, press Shift+F10)
x:\diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 256 GB 193 MB *
DISKPART>select disk {number}
DISKPART>clean
DISKPART>exit
x:/exit
I have about 100 or more command to add. stand by.
