PowerShell is an advanced form of command prompt. It is extended with a huge set of ready-to-use cmdlets and comes with the ability to use .NET framework/C# in various scenarios. Windows includes a GUI tool, PowerShell ISE, which allows editing and debugging scripts in a useful way. A lesser known feature of PowerShell is the ability to compress to ZIP and extract files from a ZIP archive. This feature can be used in your own automation scenarios.
