If you’d like to assign the results of a command to a variable, and at the same time output the results, too, here are two approaches.
You can either use parenthesis:
PS> ($result = Get-Service) Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Running AdobeARMservice Adobe Acrobat Update Service (...)
Or, you can use the –OutVariable common parameter:
PS> Get-Service -OutVariable result Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Running AdobeARMservice Adobe Acrobat Update Service (...)
