I coulnd not seem to be able define it in such a way to be available in the shell. Get-Paramter get-eventlog gives the output like the book. Thanks for your help. I'm finding the book to be most helpful. My needs are mostly reporting and monitoring, but I the rest of it will be helpful also. I ended up putting this at the bottom of the script

Get-Parameter [cmdlet or alias] | ft name,type,is*,pipe* -GroupBy parameterset -AutoSize
gpm ( $args[0] )

Dot sourcing is explained here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/winpsh/manual/run.mspx#EMBAC. Then, the function is available to be executed like so: get-parameter get-childitem And don't forget my gpm function which is equal to: Get-Parameter [cmdlet or alias] | ft name,type,is*,pipe* -GroupBy parameterset -AutoSize Once you have the function in a script, you have to “dot-source” it.

I downloaded the get-parameter script, but can't get it to run on the PowerCLI. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do have some other simple scripts that run, so I"m not sure what is wrong.
