Most cmdlets and functions are part of PowerShell modules. If you’d like to explore where exactly these commands come from, here is an easy approach.
# replace the command name with any PowerShell command name # you'd like to explore $Name = "Get-Printer" $ModuleName = (Get-Command -Name $Name -CommandType Function, Cmdlet).Source if ('' -eq $ModuleName) { Write-Warning "$Name was defined in memory, no module available." return } Write-Warning "$Name resides in $ModuleName module" $module = Get-Module -Name $ModuleName -ListAvailable explorer $module.ModuleBase
Simply change $Name to the name of any PowerShell cmdlet you’d like to explore. If the command resides in a PowerShell module, the module opens in Windows Explorer, and you can examine its content.
