Network Load Balancing cmdlets in Windows PowerShell

This reference provides cmdlet descriptions and syntax for all Network Load Balancing-specific cmdlets in Windows PowerShell in Windows Server® 2008 R2. It lists the cmdlets in alphabetical order based on the verb at the beginning of the cmdlet.

The Windows PowerShell cmdlets provide an alternative interface for actions that you might otherwise perform with command-line commands or the Network Load Balancing Manager snap-in. For more information about using Windows PowerShell, see "Additional references," later in this topic.
