In order to master SharePoint 2010, you will have to get comfortable utilizing PowerShell (aka SharePoint 2010 Management Shell). There are so many commands (or command-lets as they are called) that interact with SharePoint that it makes it nearly impossible to remember them all. Use this PowerShell command to output a list of all cmdlets that are found within the SharePoint 2010 namespace:
Get-Command –PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” | format-table name > C:\SP2010_PowerShell_Commands.txt
If you would like a little more detail, then try this one:
Get-Command –PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” | select name, definition | format-list > C:\SP2010_PowerShell_Commands.txt
Note: You may also type gcm as the alias for Get-Command.

Plz list all the powershell commands which is used for sharepoint administration 2010.There are more than 500 cmdlets it seems. Explain each command briefly.It is useful for Begineers like me.
Thank u
I’m sorry; it would take quite awhile to generate such a list and description. Plus, many sites already have this. What you should do is use PowerShell to learn more about each cmdlet. At the command window type, help to get detailed information about that particular command. (ex. help Backup-SPFarm)
@Lakshmi: Use the command “get-help -detailed” for a good description of the command. For instance, to learn more about Install-SPSolution, use:
get-help install-spsolution -detailed
Also, be sure to use the tab completion feature. If you start typing a command, hit “tab” to have powershell attempt to complete the command for you. This is useful for when you’re trying out commands for a task or having trouble remembering the complete name of the command.

Hi Adam,
This is really very useful. Thanks for Sharing….
Hi,
I have created variation labels in my sharepoint site. I need to create hierarchy for those sites. Is there a powershell command which allows us to create hierarchies for the variation labels.
Since my sharepoint page (site settings->variation labels) is not working, I am looking for PowerShell commands.
Thanks in advance.
