With the PowerShell Window, you can run Help<\/em> or Get-Help<\/em> to go looking for information of syntax and flags.  If you want, you can even use the get-member<\/em> cmdlet, such as:<\/p>\n

Get-NetAdapter | Get-Member<\/font><\/p>\n

There\u2019s two things that are happening with the above command.  Get-NetAdapter is being run, and then we\u2019re using a pipe to send the output as an input to Get-Member.  Get-Member will list all of the attributes of the Get-NetAdapter<\/em> output, including methods and properties.  You might want to filter that down, and you can do that by running:<\/p>\n

Get-NetAdapter | Get-Member \u2013MemberType Property<\/font><\/p>\n

Where did I get \u2013MemberType<\/em> from?  Look at the titles of the columns from the previous command.  One of them was called MemberType.<\/p>\n

I could have just as easily used:<\/p>\n

Get-NetAdapter | Get-Member \u2013Name *Interface*<\/font><\/p>\n

That would have limited the results to attributes of Get-NetAdapter<\/em> that contained \u201cInterface\u201d in their name.<\/p>\n
