Question 1

What character can you use to break cmdlets between parameters when using PowerShell?
A)ampersand
B)backtick
C)asterisk
D)underscore

Accepted Answer

A backtick (`) can be used to break cmdlets between parameters when using PowerShell. This is useful when a parameter value contains spaces or other special characters that may be interpreted as part of the command syntax. The backtick allows the parameter value to be treated as a single entity and passed to the cmdlet correctly.

Question 2

When you write a script, what type of line should you include to ensure that the script is run under the correct shell?
A)header line
B)shell id
C)location line
D)debug line

Accepted Answer

A header line should be included in a script to ensure that it is run under the correct shell. This is typically done using the shebang (#!) followed by the path to the desired shell. For example, #!/bin/bash would ensure that the script is run under the Bash shell.

Question 3

When creating and executing scripts in CentOS 7, you must change the permissions on the file before running the new script.

Accepted Answer

Before a script can be executed in CentOS 7, the file permissions must be changed to allow execution using the chmod command.

Question 4

PowerShell ISE is an Integrated Scripting Environment that is included with Windows 10.

Accepted Answer

PowerShell ISE is indeed included with Windows 10 as a default feature.

Question 5

Microsoft's PowerShell Script pane is an "automatic completion" feature that helps you develop scripts quickly.

Accepted Answer

The PowerShell ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment) Script Pane is primarily used for writing, testing, and debugging scripts. The "automatic completion" feature, often referred to as IntelliSense or tab completion, is a separate functionality within the ISE that assists in script development by suggesting cmdlets, parameters, paths, and more as you type.

Question 6

What key feature in the PowerShell ISE allows a user to display clickable menus of cmdlets, parameters, parameter values, files, or folders that match the characters you type?
A)Context-sensitive Help
B)Drag and drop
C)Error display
D)IntelliSense

Accepted Answer

IntelliSense is the key feature in the PowerShell ISE that allows a user to display clickable menus of cmdlets, parameters, parameter values, files, or folders that match the characters you type. This feature improves efficiency and accuracy while coding.

Question 7

What specific configurable PowerShell script runs automatically each time the ISE starts?
A)user
B)profile
C)context
D)preference

Accepted Answer

The PowerShell "profile" script runs automatically each time the ISE starts. This script can be configured to customize the environment for the user, load specific modules or functions, or set default options.

Question 8

Where does the output appear when you run a script in the PowerShell ISE?
A)Top pane
B)Console pane
C)Command-Add-on pane
D)Scripting pane

Accepted Answer

The output of a script in the PowerShell ISE appears in the Console pane.

Question 9

What PowerShell command written with a trace parameter will enable script tracing?
A)Set-Trace
B)Set-PSDebug
C)Get-PSDebug
D)Get-Trace

Accepted Answer

Set-PSDebug is the correct command for enabling script tracing in PowerShell. It allows users to turn script debugging features on and off, including tracing.

Question 10

What PowerShell cmdlet will allow you to Select items to remain in a table after filtering out unwanted items?
A)Filter-Data
B)Where-Object
C)Where-Data
D)Hold-Object

Accepted Answer

The Where-Object cmdlet filters out unwanted items in a table, and by specifying a condition, it allows you to select which items to remain.

Question 11

What is an alternative to the Help cmdlet when you need to locate a specific cmdlet?
A)Get-Command
B)Help-Command
C)Get-Help
D)Alt-Help

Accepted Answer

Get-Command is the best choice when you need to locate a specific cmdlet. It allows you to search by keyword, command name, or module name and provides a list of matching commands along with their syntax and description. Help-Command is not a valid cmdlet and Alt-Help is not a real alternative. Get-Help is useful for getting more detailed information about a specific cmdlet once you have located it with Get-Command.

Question 12

When a PowerShell user needs additional help regarding a cmdlet that will create a file, what command syntax can be used to help obtain this information?
A)cmdlet "create file"
B)"create file" Help
C)Help "create file"
D)"create file" cmdlet

Accepted Answer

The correct syntax for obtaining help on a cmdlet is to use the Help command followed by the name of the cmdlet, in this case "create file". Therefore, the correct choice is "Help "create file".

Question 13

When using filtering in PowerShell you need to know the comparison operators, what operator allows you to see whether an identical value exists in a list of values?
A)-identical
B)-exist
C)-contains
D)-le

Accepted Answer

The comparison operator "-contains" is used to check if a specified value exists in a list of values.

Question 14

To find a cmdlet that obtains process values, use the Get-Command -noun Process command.
Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

Accepted Answer

The Get-Command -noun Process command will list all cmdlets related to processes.

Question 15

In CentOS 7 using an extension on script files is optional. However, some Linux system administrators prefer to add a file extension to their scripts. What file extension is commonly used for this purpose?
A).exe
B).rt
C).bt
D).sh

Accepted Answer

The .sh file extension is commonly used for scripts in Linux, indicating that it is a shell script. This extension helps to identify the type of file and its purpose, making it easy for system administrators and users to recognize and execute the script properly. The other file extensions listed (exe, rt, and bt) are not typically used for Linux scripts.

Question 16

The CD command is used in the command line to change the path of a directory, what is the equivalent cmdlet in PowerShell?
A)Move-Directory
B)Get-Location
C)Set-Location
D)Edit-Directory

Accepted Answer

The equivalent cmdlet for CD in PowerShell is Set-Location.

Question 17

How can a PowerShell ISE user include a suggestion from an IntelliSense menu in their script?
A)highlight the suggestion
B)double-click the suggestion
C)press F3
D)press and hold f3

Accepted Answer

To include a suggestion from an IntelliSense menu in a PowerShell ISE script, the user should double-click the suggestion they wish to use. This will insert it into their script at the current cursor location.

Question 18

Windows commands within PowerShell are as efficient as using an equivalent PowerShell cmdlet.

Accepted Answer

PowerShell cmdlets are designed specifically for PowerShell and are generally more efficient because they work with objects rather than text, can leverage the full power of the .NET framework, and are optimized for automation tasks within the PowerShell environment. Windows commands, on the other hand, often output text that must be parsed, which can be less efficient.

Question 19

What keyboard shortcut will allow you to launch a script directly from the PowerShell ISE?
A)F5
B)F3
C)Ctrl+L
D)Ctrl+S

Accepted Answer

Pressing F5 will launch the script directly from the PowerShell ISE. This is a commonly used shortcut for running scripts in PowerShell.

Question 20

What command in CentOS 7 can be used in a script to enable multiple executions of a set of instructions while a certain condition exists?
A)for in
B)if
C)while
D)chmod

Accepted Answer

The "while" command is used in scripting to enable multiple executions of a set of instructions while a certain condition exists. The code block is executed repeatedly as long as the condition is true. The "for in" command is used to loop through a list of items, the "if" command is used for conditional execution, and the "chmod" command is used to change permissions on a file or directory.
