Similar to the command prompt or command line, PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration, and you can read more about it at the [PowerShell hub on MSDN](https://msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/mt173057.aspx).

> PowerShell cmdlets should not be used as a replacement for a full network policy management infrastructure, such as [Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr), [Group Policy Management Console](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731212.aspx), or [Windows Defender Antivirus Group Policy ADMX templates](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/927367).
Changes made with PowerShell will affect local settings on the endpoint where the changes are deployed or made. This means that deployments of policy with Group Policy, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or Microsoft Intune can overwrite changes made with PowerShell.
