Creating a PowerShell Script as per a Scenario of


Your Choice

Requirements

For this assignment you are expected to come up with a simple scenario (one that we haven’t
covered in class already) and then write a PowerShell script based on that scenario.
The following are the things you need to make sure to include in your scenario and, therefore,
incorporate into your script as well.
Make sure that your script accomplishes the following:

- Asks the user to provide his/her input for two things


- Creates and uses at least 4 variables: 2 strings and 2 numeric
- Uses decision making (ie. if statements), two times
- Makes use of a pipeline
- Writes or exports data to a file
- Displays a message to the user informing him/her that the processing is completed
and, also, letting the user know the name of the file to which the data is saved.
- Notes:
o Remember to use variables (vs. hardcoding values) whenever possible.
o Make sure to use camelCase naming convention when naming variables.
o Make sure your code is well-formatted and well-documented (with
comments), as per the good coding practices we discussed in class.
