Check if a command has run successfully

Question

I\'ve tried enclosing the following in an if statement so I can execute another command if this succeeds:

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Share -ComputerName $Ser         


        

Answer 1

Or if a failure returns no standard output, that would work for an if statement:

if (! (Get-CimInstance Win32_Share -ComputerName $Server.name -Credential $credentials -Filter "Description='Default share'")) { 
  'command failed'
}

Also there's now the or symbol "||" in powershell 7:

Get-CimInstance Win32_Share -ComputerName $Server.name -Credential $credentials -Filter "Description='Default share'" || 'command failed'
