A few random PowerShell commands in Windows to help complete tasks:
Create New AD User:
New-ADUser -SamAccountName U1 -Name "User 1" -AccountPassword (ConvertToSecureString -AsPlainText "p@ssw0rd" -Force) -Enabled $true -Path 'OU=Test,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM'
Displays if “Desktop Experience” is installed:
Get-WindowsFeature *Desktop*
Installs “Desktop Experience” Feature:
Add-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
Remove Windows Patches
wusa /uninstall /kb:2952664

wevtutil el | Foreach-Object {Write-Host "Clearing $_"; wevtutil cl "$_"}

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
