The funny part is that the commands and options are incredibly verbose
to the point where it's fairly straightforward to figure them out...

...except that actually discovering what the commands *are* (and which
esoteric namespace you have to import to use them) is a quest worthy of
Mallory or Tolkien and involves slogging through a morass of Spiceworks
threads and defunct MSDN links with the aid of a search engine and/or
the Internet Archive :/
