scriptps1

A scriptps1 file is a text file containing Windows PowerShell commands. PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language developed by Microsoft for task automation and configuration management. The .ps1 extension signifies that the file is intended to be executed by the PowerShell engine. These scripts can range from simple commands to complex multi-line programs designed to manage systems, automate repetitive tasks, or retrieve system information.

Executing a scriptps1 file typically involves opening a PowerShell console, navigating to the directory containing the script, and then typing the script's name preceded by a dot and a backslash (e.g., .\MyScript.ps1). PowerShell's execution policy can affect whether scripts are allowed to run; administrators can configure this policy to enhance security. Scripting in PowerShell offers a powerful way to interact with and manage Windows operating systems and associated applications.
