Get PowerShell user summary information.
Get-PSWho [-AsString] [<CommonParameters>]This command will provide a summary of relevant information for the current user in a PowerShell session. You might use this to troubleshoot an end-user problem running a script or command.
The default behavior is to write an object to the pipeline, but you can use the -AsString parameter to force the command to write a string. This makes it easier to use in your scripts with Write-Verbose.
