-PSConsoleFile
 Loads the specified Windows PowerShell console file. To create a console
 file, use Export-Console in Windows PowerShell.

-Version
 Starts the specified version of Windows PowerShell.
 Enter a version number with the parameter, such as "-version 2.0".

-NoLogo
 Hides the copyright banner at startup.

-NoExit
 Does not exit after running startup commands.

-Sta
 Starts the shell using a single-threaded apartment.
 Single-threaded apartment (STA) is the default.

-Mta
 Start the shell using a multithreaded apartment.

-NoProfile
 Does not load the Windows PowerShell profile.

-NonInteractive
 Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.

-InputFormat
 Describes the format of data sent to Windows PowerShell. Valid values are
 "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).

-OutputFormat
 Determines how output from Windows PowerShell is formatted. Valid values
 are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).

-WindowStyle
 Sets the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.

-EncodedCommand
 Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter
 to submit commands to Windows PowerShell that require complex quotation
 marks or curly braces.

-ConfigurationName
 Specifies a configuration endpoint in which Windows PowerShell is run.
 This can be any endpoint registered on the local machine including the
 default Windows PowerShell remoting endpoints or a custom endpoint having
 specific user role capabilities.

-File
 Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the
 functions and variables that the script creates are available in the
 current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters.
 File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters
 typed after the File parameter name are interpreted
 as the script file path followed by the script parameters.

-ExecutionPolicy
 Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it
 in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
 This parameter does not change the Windows PowerShell execution policy
 that is set in the registry.

-Command
 Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were
 typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless
 NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string. or a
 script block.

 If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard
 input.

 If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed
 in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell.exe
 in Windows PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the
 parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.

 If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter
 in the command , because any characters typed after the command are
 interpreted as the command arguments.

 To write a string that runs a Windows PowerShell command, use the format:
 "& {<command>}"
 where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&)
 causes the command to be executed.

-Help, -?, /?
 Shows this message. If you are typing a PowerShell.exe command in Windows
 PowerShell, prepend the command parameters with a hyphen (-), not a forward
 slash (/). You can use either a hyphen or forward slash in Cmd.exe.

EXAMPLES
 PowerShell -PSConsoleFile SqlSnapIn.Psc1
 PowerShell -version 2.0 -NoLogo -InputFormat text -OutputFormat XML
 PowerShell -ConfigurationName AdminRoles
 PowerShell -Command {Get-EventLog -LogName security}
 PowerShell -Command "& {Get-EventLog -LogName security}"

 # To use the -EncodedCommand parameter:
 $command = 'dir "c:\program files" '
 $bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($command)
 $encodedCommand = [Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)
 powershell.exe -encodedCommand $encodedCommand

Return Code: 0
