A verb-noun naming format combines an approved PowerShell action verb with a singular, descriptive noun. Use a meaningful organizational prefix, such as Get-GlobalUser, rather than an ambiguous or overly long name. section 3.2
Use the convention to make tools feel native and easier to maintain:
- Choose the verb from Get-Verb, treating the approved list as the standard even though PowerShell permits other verbs. section 3.2 section 8.4
- Keep the noun singular and prefix it with an organization-specific name to improve discovery and avoid conflicts. section 3.2 section 8.4
- Prefer native patterns because Get-Command searches by verb and noun, while Import-Module can warn about unapproved verbs. section 3.2
From descriptive to native
Replace ListAllIISWebServersInTheIISWebFarm with a concise verb-noun command. A company-specific tool might be Get-GlobalUser or Get-GloboSystemStatus. section 3.2 section 8.4
