Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The cmdlet to check the installation status of items is Get-WindowsFeature."

A block of code is set as follows:

$TargetSystems = "svhv1", "svhv2"
$ScriptBlock = {
  $StoppedStates = "Off", "Saved"
  $StoppedVMs = Get?VM | where { $_.State ?in $StoppedStates }
  $StoppedVMs | Start?VM
  $StoppedVMs | select Name
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

certutil –viewstore My
certutil –viewstore Root

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Turn it off on the Features page of the Add Roles and Features wizard in Server Manager."
