Use `Get-Command network #network anywhere in noun gcm -network* #network as first word in noun` PowerShell has it all, its just that people don't bother to learn it.

Which good documentation do you recommend?

Poweshell in depth, or in month of launches.

But, experience is more important. Simply do everything in posh, even if there is a handy gui. After a few months you are closer to pro then with any books.

should't the first one be "network as last word"?

Indeed. My bad.
